Three children among 14 killed in Dhanbad apartment blaze

RANCHI, Feb 1: Ten women and three children were among 14 people killed in a fire that broke out in a multistorey residential building in Jharkhand's Dhanbad on Tuesday evening. Fourteen people have been hospitalised with burn injuries.

A wedding function was going on on one of the floors. An unconfirmed report said the fire started from an oil lamp. The blaze was at Aashirwad Towers in Jodaphatak in the old city area in the evening. The apartment has 100 flats.

The fire started in the second floor of the 10-storey building late in the evening and the residents were trapped, initial reports said.

The incident follows another fire mishap in Dhanbad four days ago in which a doctor couple were killed when the hospital in which they were working caught fire. Three others also died in the fire in the private Hazra hospital. A short circuit is said to have caused the fire. Nine people were rescued. The fire engulfed the first floor. The patients there were sleeping.
