Speaking about the incident, Munnawar Ali Mithyani, DC Kashmore and @ Kandhkot said that the incident had occurred due to short-circuiting while all record of the revenue and other departments was intact. On the other hand, sources said that most of the record, especially vital documents and various files were burnt to ashes.
