Hyderabad Fire: 8 children among dead in fire near charminar as narrow path blocks rescue efforts

A devastating fire near Hyderabad's Charminar claimed 17 lives, including eight children and five women.

The blaze erupted early morning in the densely packed Gulzar House area, where a family lived above their shop.

Firefighters faced hurdles due to narrow access and lack of equipment.

The suspected cause is a short circuit.

PM Modi expressed anguish and announced ex-gratia aid.

Local leaders urged improved emergency infrastructure.

The area, known for century-old jewellery shops, now grapples with grief and outrage as authorities investigate safety lapses behind the fatal inferno.
