He acknowledged the efforts of the company’s workers in quelling the fire to an extent before the arrival of the fire fighters.

He noted, “The firefighters came a bit late but they’ve done their work and we are grateful to them, because without them, may be definitely the damage would have been multiple times more than what we have. they came a bit late but thank God they did their work when they came.”

All the workers were all up and doing. They rose up to their responsibilities. They were even the one fighting the fire before the firefighters came. To the best of our ability, the workers did very well.”

Dr Saeed commended the adequate security provided by the Police Force which disallow any external intrusion.
