Ghaziabad Residents Escape Major Fire Disaster at Aditya Mega City

In the early hours of Saturday, a rapid‑spreading fire erupted inside a store room of flat GC‑502 at the Aditya Mega City residential complex, Indirapuram. Within minutes, the tower was enveloped by thick, suffocating smoke that threatened to engulf adjacent flats. The local fire department, alerted at 2:12 p.m., responded immediately, routing hose lines from the ground floor to the affected level and activating the complex’s built‑in fire‑fighting system. Firefighters, wearing breathing apparatus, entered the smoky interior, located the blaze, and suppressed it with water jets. Exhaust ventilation units were employed to evacuate the toxic fumes. The prompt containment averted a potentially lethal situation; all occupants remained safe, though personal belongings in the store room were lost. A forensic team is now examining the site to pinpoint the fire’s origin, while officials confirm that the building’s safety mechanisms functioned as designed.
