Hyderabad:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hyderabad woke up to a part of its history going up in flames as one of India’s oldest clubs was destroyed in a massive fire that broke out early this morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Established by the British in 1878, the Secunderabad Club is said to be among the five oldest clubs of India and was located on a lush green 22-acre campus.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The fire department said that a short-circuit could be the reason behind the fire that started around 2:30am and was doused by 6am. No casualties have been reported, officials said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Damages of \u20b9 35-40 crore have been estimated due to the accident.<\/p>\r\n

The club, which has 8,000 members and has been given the heritage status by the Hyderabad Urban Development Authority, boasted of a cricket field, swimming pool and many other outdoor sports facilities. It was likely the only members’ club to have its own dedicated Sailing Annexe.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Colonnade patterned in the Old British style, a spacious ball room and an open-air theatre were some of the other facilities provided by the club. The club also had a 5-star accommodation that included Heritage Suites. It was extremely well-laid out with air-conditioned bars, dining halls, banquet halls as well as a number of lawns for large gatherings and parties.<\/p>\r\n
