The military’s firemen put out flames inside the parliament building in the early hours of Sunday after a dustbin and tissue box at a restroom caught fire.
The fire was reported around 3:53 am, according to the Maldives National Defence Force, which is also responsible for maintaining security at the People’s Majlis.
The fire incident occurred in a first-floor restroom used for ablutions before prayer. No one was harmed and the police have launched a probe, the MNDF said.
The Majlis is due to reconvene after a one-month recess next week for the final session of the year.
