On Sunday morning, a fire broke out in a three-storey building near Charminar, a historic monument in Hyderabad, India. The building, estimated to be around 100 years old, housed members of a jeweller's family. The fire resulted in the deaths of 17 people, including 8 children. All 17 individuals who were taken to hospitals after the incident were declared dead. The cause of the fire has not been specified in the available reports. Local authorities responded to the emergency, and investigations into the circumstances surrounding the fire are ongoing. The incident highlights concerns regarding fire safety in older residential and commercial buildings in densely populated urban areas. Charminar is a significant cultural and historical site in Hyderabad, and the area is known for its crowded streets and old structures, which can pose challenges for emergency response.
