Initial information suggested the fire may have started after an explosion in an air-conditioner unit. However, officials said the exact cause would be established only after a detailed investigation.
Searches were conducted on the affected floor, and preliminary assessments indicated that no residents were trapped inside the building.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took cognisance of the incident and instructed officials to reach the spot without delay.
According to the Chief Minister’s Office, the Chief Minister directed authorities to expedite relief and rescue operations, ensure proper medical treatment for anyone injured, and maintain vigilance until the situation was fully brought under control.
He also instructed officials to continuously monitor the rescue effort and make all necessary medical arrangements.
The Noida blaze comes after other recent fire incidents in residential buildings. Earlier this month, fires were reported from residential complexes in Sectors 74 and 52 of Noida.
Separately, a fire broke out in a four-storey residential building in Delhi’s Keshav Puram on Monday morning. Fire department personnel rescued three people, including two women and a man, from the terrace. Officials said all three were brought to safety without injuries.
