Hyderabad: Six persons are feared to be trapped inside a four-story building here after a major fire broke out Saturday afternoon, officials said.

Fire, police, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) and other agencies have engaged in a rescue operation. Citing preliminary information, AIMIM MLC Mirza Rahmat Baig said six persons, including an autodriver, a watchman, his wife and two children, are suspected to have been trapped inside.
