Massive fire breaks out in OU campus, answer sheets burnt

A massive fire broke out in an evaluation centre in Osmania University (OU) campus in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

The flames spread out leading to answer sheets getting burnt to ashes.

Fire tenders were alerted immediately, however, it took a lot of time for them to douse the flames.

By the time the fire was put out, the answer sheets of a degree exam were already burnt to ashes. The papers were stored in the centre behind men's hostels in the university campus and got completely gutted in the fire.

According to the reports, the fire was caused due to a short circuit in the centre.
