In separate incident, a fire broke out at the BSNL office on Anna Salai on Saturday morning, creating panic in the busy commercial stretch. Luckily, no injuries were reported as the office was closed for the holiday. Officials said the blaze was first noticed around 9:30 am when a security guard spotted thick smoke rising from the second floor. Fire and rescue teams rushed to the site, deploying at least five fire tenders and ten metro water tankers.
Preliminary investigations suggest that an electrical short circuit, possibly caused by a battery explosion in one of the rooms, may have triggered the fire. The flames spread quickly through cable lines, affecting the third, fourth, and sixth floors, while authorities continue to probe the exact cause.
