At least 6 members of family killed in fire, 3 injured in U.P.'s Firozabad; CM Adityanath condoles loss of lives

The Hindu  

At least six members of a family were killed and three injured on Tuesday after a fire broke out in their electronics-cum-furniture shop on the ground floor of the building they lived in, police said. Prima facie, it appears that a short circuit led to the fire, gutting not only the shop but also the owners' house on the first floor, they said. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expressed grief over the loss of lives and directed officials to provide a relief of ₹2 lakh to the kin of the deceased, the government said. He said 18 fire brigade vehicles from Agra, Mainpuri, Etah and Firozabad, and personnel from 12 police stations were involved in the rescue operation, which lasted for almost two-and-half hours.
