An electrician died in a major fire that broke out at a banquet hall in Noida, Sector 74 around 3 am on Wednesday. The banquet hall which was worth crores of rupees was reduced to ashes.

The reason of the fire is yet to be ascertained. The blaze has been taken into control by the fire department and police.

Police said the fire erupted around 3:30 am in the "Lotus Grenadier" banquet hall near Sarfabad village under the jurisdiction of Sector-113 police station.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 1) Rambadan Singh said fire department personnel reached the scene around 3:40 am with five fire engines.

"At around 3:30 AM, we got information that fire broke out at Lotus Grandeur banquet hall in Noida Sector 74. A total of 15 fire tenders reached here. Fire has been brought under control. One electrician, Parminder lost his life in the fire," he added.

However, as the fire kept spreading, 10 more fire engines were dispatched to contain the blaze.

"Several people trapped inside were safely evacuated but an electrician named Pravendra died in the fire," Singh said.

Chief Fire Officer Pradeep Kumar Chaubey said the hall's primarily wooden structure contributed to the rapid spread of the fire. It took the department nearly three hours to bring the fire under control.

The same banquet hall caught fire on November 21 last year also.
