A heritage building that housed government offices caught fire in Devgadh Baria town of Dahod on Monday. The fire has left the building badly damaged.
The secretariat building of the erstwhile Devgadh Baria state was used to keep records of different offices. It was also used by the treasury office. Sources said that he building was constructed towards the end of the 19th century and was handed over to the government after independence.
The fire began in the early hours on Monday. Fire engines from Devgadh Baria and surrounding areas were moved into action to douse the fire. Workers and employees of the Devgadh Baria municipality had also joined the efforts to bring material out of the premises and douse the fire.
Sources said that recently it was decided that an office of the Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Ltd should also be shifted there. The office was to move to the new building shortly.
