Fire Erupts in Ujjain Five-Storey Building; Rescue Efforts Underway
A fire broke out on Wednesday in Bagadiya Tower, a five-storey residential and commercial building in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The blaze, possibly originating from a pharmacy on the ground floor, led to the evacuation of most occupants, though 10 to 15 people, including women, remained trapped on the top floors. Rescue operations involving fire tenders, police, and the State Disaster Response Force are ongoing, with efforts complicated by the building's location in a narrow alley. No casualties have been reported so far, and the fire's cause remains unknown.
