Fire in Apartment Complex; No Injury Reported
Patna: June 9, 2008
 Electrical short circuit was being blamed for a fire in the Bansal Apartments on Bhattacharya Road in Patna that caused a panic in the building and in the adjacent area as people scrambled to the exit doors to avoid being trapped in it in the event the fire spread to other parts of the complex.
Fire officials arrived at the building and after a short battle, managed to put out the fire before it could cause any substantial damage to the building or cause any injury to its residents.
Power was shut down in the building for several hours as the officials investigated the cause of fire.
A similar incident was reported from the nearby Grand Apartments on Exhibition Road and once again short circuit was blamed for the incident.
