"Miscreants attacked the NCC building and set fire to the valuables during the quota reform movement on July 18-19," NCC Mayor Dr Selina Hayat Ivy told journalists on Thursday.
She said that services of the birth and death registration along with water bills would continue after resuming the internet service, as the server of the corporation was not damaged.
