Fire Breaks Out at Maharashtra Assembly
Imagine a little fire started in a machine that checks bags at the Maharashtra Assembly, which is like a school for grown-ups who make laws.
The fire happened because of a problem with the electricity, like a wire getting crossed.
Firefighters came super quickly and put it out fast, so it didn't spread to other parts of the building.
The grown-ups kept working on important stuff, like nothing happened.
Nobody got hurt, and the grown-ups are now checking everything to make sure it doesn't happen again.
It's like a little hiccup that was fixed quickly.
A fire occurred in a security scanning machine at the Maharashtra Assembly.
The fire was caused by a suspected short circuit.
The incident took place in the entry checking room of the Assembly.
Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire.
Legislative proceedings continued as scheduled.
