Early Times Report
Srinagar, May 31: In a devastating fire that broke out at the National Conference Headquarters, the Nawa-e-Subh complex Sunday morning, extensive damage was caused to the grand old party's nerve centre.
A major fire broke out at the Nawa-e-Subh complex, Sunday morning. The fire, however, was brought under control by the prompt action of firemen who managed to douse the flames and avert any major tragedy, reports said. The cause of the fire is not known yet.
The Nawa-e-Subh complex near Zero Bridge suffered extensive damage in a devastating fire that broke out this morning, however, NC sources said that all important documents and rare objects were safe.
Flames that erupted in National Conference's Headquarters or Nerve Centre Sunday morning have caused extensive damage to building, but all documents besides rare objects are safe, says NC spokesperson, Junaid Azim Mattu.
"Fire has caused extensive damage to the building," Mattu said ."Besides fire, water-logging caused by firefighting has further damaged the structure." But, he said all paper works and other things stand safe-though maintains, "We are yet to carry out any damage assessment."
Located at the banks of Jhelum near Srinagar's Zero Bridge, Nawa-e-Subah (NeS) or the new morning had earlier suffered damages in 2014 September floods.
Sunday's flames that erupted in Kashmir's grand old political party's headquarters is the second instance when NC HQ was caught in a fire.
Earlier flames erupted in NC's erstwhile bastion-Mujahid Manzil (MM) in old city. A hotbed of Kashmir politics for around seven decades, MM was torched by 'suspected militants' in 1994-forcing NC to shift its headquarters to NeS complex in the secured uptown.
In fact, last year in November, NC had completed twenty years of shifting its political base from Mujahid Manzil (MM) to Nawa-e-Subh.
