Students compelled to descend rope to escape a burning building

A group of pupils had to down one rope in order to escape a burning structure.

On 15 June, an electricity metre caught fire and caused a massive fire to spread to the Gyana building in Delhi, India.

The pupils may be seen on video footage lowering themselves one at a time from a window on a higher floor while dense smoke is seen billowing out behind them.

They managed to use air conditioner units installed on other floors to assist them.

‘Later we came to know that it is a coaching centre and some children are trapped in it.

‘We sent a total of 11 fire tenders to the spot. The fire has been brought under control.’
