Pune: Minor fire at IISER, none hurt

Fire officer Shivaji Memane from Pashan fire station, “The stretch of dry grass that caught fire, is located inside the IISER campus in Smoeshwarwadi area. By the time we reached, people there had already started efforts to control the fire. The fire was doused within minutes. We suspect the fire started because of sparking in the high tension wires which pass over the stretch.”
