“We used ladders and rescued around 15 people. They have suffered minor injuries and are out of danger. The fire has been doused, and the bodies of two people who worked there have been found,” said fire official Ranganath.
Police and Fire department are investigating the blaze.
According to initial indications, a short circuit could have sparked the fire. Since there were decorative items made of wood, the fire is believed to have spread quickly, the official informed.
