There was a commotion in Balko police station premises on Tuesday evening when a car suddenly caught fire. Within no time, the flames rising from the car and dark black smoke engulfed the entire police station premises.

According to the information, the fire broke out in a Swift Dzire car parked in the police station premises, which is said to be of constable David Nirala. Seeing the flames rising from the car suddenly, the policemen immediately came into action and tried to extinguish the fire with the help of water and fire extinguishers, but the fire spread so fast that it became difficult to control it.

At the same time, the fire brigade was immediately informed. The fire brigade vehicles that reached the spot controlled the fire after a lot of effort. However, by then the car was completely burnt.

It was fortunate that other vehicles parked nearby were removed from there in time, which averted a major accident. The cause of the fire is not known yet, but the police have started investigating the matter.
