The West Bengal government on Wednesday launched an investigation into the blaze that ravaged the iconic 'Hollong Bungalow' situated in Alipurduar district, confirmed Forest Minister Birbaha Hansda.
A team of experts is set to visit the popular tourist lodge, which was destroyed in the fire that erupted around 9 pm on Tuesday, to determine the cause of the inferno, said Hansda.
'Given that the bungalow had been closed since June 15, an on-the-spot inspection was necessary to understand the factors behind the incident,' Hansda told PTI, adding preliminary reports indicated a short circuit.
