According to officials, the blaze spread rapidly through the building, trapping several people inside as thick smoke filled the stairways. Local residents alerted emergency services, and multiple fire tenders rushed to the spot to bring the flames under control.

Rescue teams evacuated people from the building while firefighters battled the intense fire. Several residents were safely brought out, while those injured during the incident were shifted to nearby hospitals for treatment. Authorities later confirmed casualties as the extent of the damage became clearer.
The incident also caused panic in the surrounding neighborhood, with nearby families gathering outside as emergency crews secured the area. Firefighters worked for hours to prevent the flames from spreading to adjacent buildings in the densely populated locality.
Officials have begun investigating the cause of the fire. While the exact reason is yet to be confirmed, authorities are examining the building and collecting evidence to determine how the blaze started.
The incident has once again raised concerns over fire safety measures in crowded residential areas, where narrow lanes and closely packed buildings can make emergency operations more challenging.
Residents have been urged to follow safety guidelines and immediately report any electrical faults or fire hazards, while authorities continue their investigation into one of the most serious fire incidents reported in the area this week.
