Hyderabad: Nine people, including four men, four women, and a child, died in a devastating apartment fire in the Nampally Bazar Ghat area of Hyderabad on Monday morning. Seven members belongs to same family.
Eight people were shifted to Osmania General Hospital (OGH) for treatment.
Fire DG said that the fire may have been caused by chemical oil used for fiber machines and air coolers. The oil was filled in 20 plus big drums, which exacerbated the fire. Police authorities have confirmed the deaths of nine people in the blaze.
The fire further started when a car unexpectedly caught fire, and the flames quickly spread to the rest of the building, trapping residents inside. Many people struggled to escape the inferno, and a palpable sense of fear gripped the area. Residents were evacuated by the fire department.

The pervasive smoke claimed lives and left many residents with breathing difficulties.
