19th February 2025: A fire broke out at Bhubaneswar’s Lok Seva Bhawan on Tuesday, damaging several pieces of equipment. The blaze was first noticed around 4:35 pm on the terrace above the Cooperative Department. Fire service teams arrived quickly and brought the situation under control.
Initial reports suggest an electrical short circuit may have sparked the fire, though the exact cause is still being investigated. This is not the first fire at the building, as similar incidents have occurred annually. A fire in October 2023 at the Revenue Department building destroyed several important documents.
Authorities are now working to enhance safety measures to avoid such incidents in the future.
