Children escape unhurt from fire in Belagavi

Children escape unhurt from fire in Belagavi

On Saturday, a house fire in Belagavi left two children unharmed after swift action by their landlord. Roopa Nashipudi, who rented the first floor of Sridevi Joshi’s Sahyadri Nagar residence, had left her two children at home and locked the door from the outside to attend the New Moon Day temple ceremony. A short circuit sparked the fire, prompting Roopa’s cries for help.

Hearing her distress, Sridevi rushed to rescue the frightened children and evacuated them from the smoke-filled premises. The Belagavi APMC police have registered a case, and the ongoing investigation is probing the incident.
