Shanti Jaiswal, resident of the building said while talking to PTI said, "We saw the fire around 9:30 am. There were 7-8 people in the house and no kids as they had gone to the school."
She confirmed that no one is trapped inside.
After the fire, shops closed in the area. There was not much crowd as most of the market is closed on Thursdays. Traffic on the busy Charbagh-Kaiserbagh road has been diverted through Shivaji Marg and Bansmandi crossing, the police said.
Latouche Road, also known as Gautam Buddha Road, is a hub of commercial activities.
