Fire in Jaipur Apartment Parking Gutters 15 Vehicles
A fire broke out in the parking area of a six-storey residential apartment on Kalwar Road in Jaipur on Sunday afternoon, destroying twelve motorcycles and three cars, officials said. Both the Times of India and CNBC TV18 reported the incident, attributing details to police statements.
Police said they rushed to the spot after being informed and evacuated more than 70 people from the building. No one was injured, they added.
The fire quickly intensified after spreading to the parked vehicles. According to police, thick smoke from the burning vehicles spread into the apartment, causing breathing difficulties among residents and triggering panic.

No injuries were reported, and the evacuation was confirmed by both sources.
