Bachupally area has so many colleges and hostels. A fire near an educational institution is terrifying for parents. Hope all students are safe and the fire brigade controls it quickly. Salute to the firefighters.

Working in Hyderabad. The frequency of these incidents is concerning. Last week it was a saree showroom, now near a college. Is it faulty wiring, summer heat, or negligence? A thorough investigation is needed.

Good to hear no lives were lost. But what about property damage? Many small shops and homes are often nearby. The article says the fire is "extensive". Hope the losses are covered by insurance.

As a local, the traffic chaos during such emergencies is another big problem. Fire engines struggle to reach. Our urban planning needs to keep emergency access in mind. Praying for everyone's safety.

Respectfully, while we praise the fire department's response, we must ask why this keeps happening. Are commercial and educational complexes following all safety norms? A strict penalty system for violators might help.
