On Thursday evening, a massive fire broke out in the well-known shopping complex, Swapna Lok, located in Secunderabad. It is suspected that the fire started on the seventh or eighth floor and has rapidly spread to other floors. There have been no reports of casualties so far, but according to unconfirmed reports, seven to eight people are feared to be trapped inside the building. Firefighters have rushed to the area to extinguish the fire. The cause of the fire is believed to be an electrical short circuit. Witnesses have reported seeing a person on the fourth floor, frantically using their mobile phone's flashlight to signal for help. Rescue teams are concerned about the danger of asphyxiation caused by thick smoke, which can be lethal to those trapped inside during a fire.
