Family of three rescued after jumping from second floor during Nagda fire

A family of three was safely rescued after being trapped in a two-storey house surrounded by flames in Nagda, Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. The family had to jump from the second floor to save their lives, after the fire spread rapidly and blocked the way out.

The incident took place at around 1 am on Thursday night. Police station in-charge Amritlal Gawari was on patrol with a police team when they saw a house on fire near Kartut Dhaba, located along the highway. He immediately reached the spot and began the rescue effort.

The three people trapped inside were Padam Singh, his wife Neha Kunwar and their son Yujit Singh. With the fire spreading quickly and no exit available, the three jumped down from the second floor.

The police station in-charge, police personnel and villagers present below safely received and helped all three family members. Their lives were saved during the rescue operation, and loss of life was prevented.

The house had a grease and oil shop on the ground floor. Two gas cylinders were kept on the second floor, adding to the danger during the fire.

The rescue operation also involved ASI Prabhulal Muniya, the Dial 112 team and Rajesh Morwal, a member of the Nagar Raksha Samiti. Other people also played an important role in helping with the rescue.
