A severe fire erupted in a house in Sector 27, Noida, on Friday night, resulting in the tragic death of Shweta Singh, who was trapped on the second floor. Her cousin Namrata Singh is receiving treatment in the hospital. The fire gutted the entire floor before the fire brigade, with three fire engines, managed to bring the flames under control.

Rescue operations revealed that two women residing on the second floor had fallen unconscious due to the thick smoke. They were promptly rushed to the hospital, where their condition is now stable.
