Imagine being trapped in a burning building with no way out. That's what happened to many people in a residential building in Delhi on Sunday. The fire spread quickly, but it wasn't just the flames that caused the problem. The building's design made it nearly impossible for people to escape. The main staircase was the only way out, but it was blocked by a locked door on the terrace.

The building had a strange design. There was only one staircase, and no emergency exit. The two flats on each floor were located at the front and back of the building, making it hard to move around during an emergency. When the fire broke out, people tried to escape through the front opening of their flats, but it was too hot and smoky.

The locked door on the terrace was the final hurdle. Many people tried to find another way out, but it was too late. The heat and smoke were suffocating, and some people even tried to jump from the front of the building. It was a desperate bid to escape, but tragically, it didn't work.

Eyewitnesses described the horror of the situation. They heard loud cries for help from people trapped inside their homes. Two children even tried to jump from the front of the building, a heart-wrenching sight.

The fire also spread to the adjacent building, thanks to the lack of a gap between the two buildings. It was a perfect storm of tragedy, and one that could have been avoided if the building had been designed with safety in mind.
