Fortunately, nobody got hurt during the incident that started around ten AM. The university confirmed major damage to several residential units but emphasized that all occupants escaped physical harm safely.

Emotional support services are also available through the campus Psychosocial Clinic to help everyone process the trauma. This quick response aims to stabilize affected families while investigators determine what sparked the destructive fire.
Police and fire brigade teams are currently examining the scene. Assessments continue to gauge the full extent of structural damage to the impacted buildings. The institution promised ongoing assistance until investigations conclude and proper repairs can begin. Staff members receive counseling as part of the comprehensive support package during this difficult transition period for those who lost everything.
