Sylhet, Dec 11 (Just News): A fire has been reported from a power substation in the northeastern Sylhet district.

Flames erupted at the 230kV substation in Fenchuganj Upazila around 11am on Monday, said Sylhet Fire Service Deputy Director ABM Ferdous.

It took five fire-fighting units around one and a half hours to put out the blaze.
