Hyderabad: A massive predawn fire ravaged the iconic heritage structure of the 144year-old Secunderabad Club, with fire fighters battling for more than three hours to bring the blaze under control.
While law enforcing agencies began a detailed probe to ascertain the reasons behind the blaze, police and club officials said the billiards room, wooden staircase leading to the club’s famous ballroom, offices of the club bearers, an 1878 bar and men's colonnade, were all reduced to ashes.
Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) department special chief secretary Arvind Kumar asked the fire department to ascertain if appropriate fire protection measures were installed and whether a fire no-objection certificate (NOC) from authorities was taken and a safety audit put in place. The club authorities pegged the loss to an estimated Rs 25 crore.
The fire damaged some50,000 square feet area.A lot of memorabilia, furniture among other resources has been gutted,” said R Raghuram Reddy, president of the club.
Witnesses said the fire started at the bar and quickly spread to other areas before anyone could respond.
