A fire broke out in a two-storey building housing a children’s school and a residence near Santoshnagar Water Tank Road in Hyderabad on Tuesday night, prompting a response from the fire department, IS Sadan police and HYDRAA officials.
The building falls under the jurisdiction of the IS Sadan police station. According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, MONARACH Kids was located on the first floor, while the second floor was occupied by a house.
The fire department deployed two fire engines after receiving information about the incident. Fire personnel and police reached the location as flames erupted from the building. The response focused on controlling the fire at the mixed-use premises.
The incident highlights the operational challenge posed by buildings that combine institutional and residential uses, particularly when a children’s facility is located within the structure. However, the available report does not provide details about the number of children or residents present at the time, whether anyone was injured, or the extent of damage to the building.
HYDRAA officials also reached the spot. Their presence places the incident within the wider civic enforcement and urban safety system in Hyderabad, although no action taken by the agency or findings from an inspection were reported.
The cause of the fire has not been stated. Further details about the incident, including the final status of the flames, possible casualties, property damage and any official investigation, are awaited.
