Punjab and Haryana High Court Women's Bar Gutted by Fire
Imagine a fire started in the women's lounge at the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
It seems like it might have been caused by a short circuit, like when too much electricity flows through a wire.
The room was completely destroyed, and some other rooms nearby got damaged too.
The people in charge are working hard to fix the damage.
They are asking for help from everyone to pay for the repairs so things can go back to normal.
A fire gutted the women's bar room at the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The incident occurred in the early hours of the day, potentially due to a short circuit.
The High Court Bar Association is undertaking measures to restore damages.
Adjacent rooms were also damaged in the fire.
Donations are being requested from members, particularly senior advocates, to aid restoration.
