Cars parked inside Secretariat
A report on the matter was published in a local English daily on 18th August. It was about the practice of overnight parking of many vehicles inside the secretariat which is a potentially dangerous practice. Usually during night time, the secretariat area is totally deserted except for the designated guards posted in guardrooms alongside the doors in the perimeter. The whole area has many buildings, and with papers and files, all potentially inflammable material spread all over the place. Should someone with bad intentions stays back after the offices are closed, he can then deliberately set alight a few vehicles' fuel tanks. This may lead to an uncontrollable fire that can spread all over the area.
It would be better and safer to park all these vehicles covering half of the road on the western side, with the other half and the gate areas left free of parked vehicles, so that vehicles can come in or go out of the secretariat at night if so needed.
