Ujjain Fire
A fire erupted at a five-storey residential-cum-commercial building in Ujjain city of Madhya Pradesh on Wednesday evening, prompting a rapid evacuation of most occupants. No casualties were reported in the blaze, whose cause was not immediately known, and efforts were on to evacuate the remaining residents.
According to the officials, the fire broke out in Bagadia Tower, located near the Old Central Kotwali.
Ujjain District Magistrate Roshan Kumar Singh told reporters at the scene that upon receiving information about the fire, police, local, administration, and SDRF (State Disaster Response Force) teams rushed to the spot to control the blaze and evacuate residents of the building. He said the building's location in a narrow alley was hampering the rescue operation.
Superintendent of Police (SP) Pradeep Sharma said the building houses a pharmacy store, and the fire likely started there and then spread gradually.
