GANGTOK, 28 Nov: A major incident was averted late last night [intervening night of 27 and 28 November] when a fire at Khangri Petrol Pump at Convoy Ground here in Tadong was detected in time and contained before it could spread or cause any damage.
A major fire had hit the same petrol pump some years ago it may be recalled. While a proper inferno had enveloped the establishment back then, this time, timely detection and quick response snuffed out the fire before it could cause any damage.
While two fire tenders rushed to the spot, the fire, being minor in nature, had been put off by the time. When contacted, officials informed that no police complaint has been lodged with regard to the incident.
The petrol pump stands next to the Sikkim Krantikari Morcha office, and the party, in a press release issued today, has contended that last night’s incident was an arson attempt by the ruling party targeting the SKM office.
The petrol pump, the SKM release points out, belongs to Phuchung Bhutia, an SKM vice president who also owns the building alongside in which the SKM head office is housed.
