Fire at Mohali Police Station Destroys Case Property Vehicles
Imagine a fire started near a police station where they keep cars that were involved in accidents or crimes.
The fire burned up to nine of these cars, which were being stored because they were part of ongoing investigations.
It seems a spark from some construction work nearby may have caused the fire.
This highlights a bigger problem: police stations are often filled with old, unclaimed vehicles.
One person wants the government to create a special parking area and auction off the old vehicles to make space.
This fire is a reminder that the government needs to find a better way to manage these vehicles to avoid more fires and problems.
A fire broke out near Phase-8 Police Station, Mohali.
The fire destroyed eight to nine case-property vehicles.
The cause may have been a spark from nearby road repair work.
The incident highlights the issue of unclaimed vehicles at police stations.
Local officials are calling for better vehicle disposal and parking solutions.
