Several students got stuck on the fourth floor of an educational institute in Nilagiri block in Maitrivanam in bustling Ameerpet after fire broke out in it on Friday morning.
Upon receiving information, the police and the fire-fighters rushed to the spot to rescue the students who were seeking help from a balcony on the fourth floor.
The
fire-fighters had to struggle to rescue the students as thick billowing out of the building hampered their operation.
Using ladders and face masks, the fire-fighters managed to reach the balcony to rescue the students safely.
As it is a busy place, a large number of students attending training in various IT courses in Maitrivanam and its surroundings thronged the premises.
