ISLAMABAD: Unknown people took away two ceiling fans from the Green Line Metro Bus Service station in Malpur on Thursday night.

Moreover, the bus station was also damaged due to heavy rain and winds or by deliberate attempts by someone. The station was being repaired by a CDA contractor. The Green service runs from Bhara Kahu to Pims. According to the CDA, some elements allegedly damaged the Malpur station and also stole away two fans.

The bus service is being supervised by the Capital Development Authority (CDA).

According to officials of the civic agency, someone deliberately damaged the station. The officials said two ceiling fans installed at the station were missing.

Meanwhile, Assistant Commissioner Aneel Saeed and police officials visited the damaged station. Later, the Secretariat police, on the complaint of CDA’s Assistant Director Market and Road Maintenance Mohammad Ashraf, registered a First Information Report (FIR) against unknown people for damaging the property and stealing the fans.

The FIR stated that on Tuesday night some unknown people damaged the metro station and took away two ceiling fans.

Sources in the police told Dawn that a suspected thief had been arrested and the two ceiling fans and some iron rods recovered from him.

“We have arrested the suspect and recovered both the ceiling fans and some iron rods from him,” said a police official.

He, however, said the suspect had nothing to do with the damage to the station rather it was caused due to heavy rains after which the suspect took away the ceiling fans along with the iron rods.
