Scary incident! Just last week there was another fire in Moghalpura. Why aren't authorities conducting regular fire safety audits? Many buildings in Hyderabad have faulty wiring and no fire extinguishers. This negligence could cost lives!

The fire brigade deserves appreciation for their prompt action. But I wonder - was this building following fire safety norms? Most residential buildings in India compromise on safety to cut costs. We need stricter enforcement of building codes.

So relieved to hear everyone is safe! 😊 This incident shows how important it is to have fire drills even in residential societies. My apartment in Bangalore conducts them quarterly - more cities should adopt this practice.

The article mentions they used a robot to control the fire - that's impressive! Hyderabad's fire department seems to be upgrading their tech. Hope other cities follow suit. Safety should never be compromised.

While the reporting is good, I wish journalists would also mention what common citizens can do to prevent such incidents. Simple things like checking wiring regularly and not overloading sockets could save many lives.

As someone who lived in Hyderabad for 3 years, I'm impressed by the fire department's efficiency. The city's rapid growth needs to be matched with better safety infrastructure
