The Impressive TimesAhmedabad- A major fire incident was reported at a commercial complex in Ahmedabad on Monday, where at least 25 people were safely rescued after being trapped on the upper floors of the building, officials said.
The blaze erupted at the Shangrila-2 Arcade near Shyamal Crossroads, a four-storey structure housing a bank on the ground floor and offices along with a gym on higher levels.
