Records on Narmada dam destroyed

Special Correspondent

AHMEDABAD: Important documents relating to the construction of the Narmada dam were feared destroyed in a fire that broke out on the fourth floor of the state-owned Sardar Sarovar Narmada Development Corporation's office in Vadodara on Sunday.

It took several hours for eight fire tenders to bring the situation at the Narmada Bhavan under control.

Fire brigade sources said the fire could have been caused by an electric short-circuit. Many documents and furniture in the office were damaged in the fire.
