In the video, the woman is seen holding one child out of a window, with thick smoke already filling the air on the fourth floor.

After that, it was the woman’s turn. She let go of the window and hung in the air. The locals on the third floor quickly grabbed hold of her and safely pulled her down.

Some residents of the building were seen trying to escape from their balconies, while others were shouting for help from their windows. Thankfully, no one was injured in the fire, which was caused by a short circuit in the electric duct of Block C at Parishkar Apartments. Firefighters successfully rescued 18 people from the building.
