The TMC Disaster Management Cell received the call at about 12.20 am and the fire was out by about 1.10 am; two fire engines and a rescue vehicle attended. Four residents had minor injuries (three from one flat with minor burns, one with a minor leg injury) and were stable; two people trapped in Flat 701 were rescued. Doors and wiring of Flats 701 to 704 and the lift were damaged, and Loksatta says two flats were badly damaged. No death was reported and the cause is not known.
