Imphal, February 11, 2012:
Office of the Chief Medical Officer, Thoubal and the district Family Welfare Office were ravaged by an accidental fire that broke out at about 12.30 pm today.
The CMO's office and the district Family Welfare office are located side by side inside Thoubal District Hospital complex which was inaugurated recently.
The inferno not only ravaged major portions of the building but also destroyed two computer sets, drugs for immunization, freezers, RLIs and volumes of documents including pay bills.
The ravaging fire was first noticed by the security guard who was on duty at the main gate of the hospital complex.
Soon the district fire brigade was informed.
However, even as the fire tenders did their best to douse the fire, it ravaged major portions of the building.
