Fire broke out at the The Hindu's office in Hubballi on Friday and fire brigade personnel put it off before further damage was caused.
After the security guard on duty noticed smoke from the closed office, he alerted his superiors, who in turn, called the fire brigade. Within minutes they arrived at Kalburgi Katwe Identity building which houses The Hindu office on the second floor and extinguished the fire.
The fire brigade personnel suspect fire was caused due to electrical short circuit. Computer systems, television set, air conditioners, office furniture and documents have been damaged in the fire.

When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
