A massive fire broke out at the Mangala Gowri Shopping Mall located on Road No. 36 in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad on Tuesday. The blaze originated in a clothes showroom and rapidly spread through multiple floors of the building. Three fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the location to bring the situation under control. Fire officials confirmed that all occupants were safely evacuated before the flames intensified, ensuring no casualties or injuries were reported from the incident.
According to fire department officials, the shopping mall was undergoing renovation work at the time of the incident. The showroom did not contain any clothing inventory as the stock had been removed for the renovation activities. Officials stated that the fire spread quickly due to the presence of scrap materials left behind from the ongoing construction work. The combustible nature of these materials contributed to the rapid escalation of the flames across different sections of the building.
Emergency response teams reached the site promptly after receiving distress calls about the fire. The firefighters worked diligently to contain the blaze and prevent it from spreading to adjacent structures in the commercial area. Eyewitnesses reported seeing thick plumes of smoke rising from the building, which could be seen from considerable distances across Jubilee Hills. The fire department deployed multiple water jets and specialized equipment to tackle the flames effectively.
Fire officials conducted a thorough search of the premises to ensure that no one remained trapped inside the building. All persons present in the mall at the time of the fire outbreak were successfully evacuated without any harm. The swift evacuation process and the absence of inventory in the showroom helped prevent what could have been a more severe disaster. Authorities have cordoned off the area surrounding the shopping mall to facilitate firefighting operations and keep onlookers at a safe distance.
The firefighters successfully doused the fire after sustained efforts at the Mangala Gowri showroom. However, the exact cause of the fire remains unknown and is currently under investigation. Fire department officials have initiated a detailed inquiry to determine what triggered the blaze. Further details regarding the extent of damage to the property and the findings of the investigation are awaited.
