A massive fire broke out at Kings Restaurant near Mehdipatnam X Roads in Hyderabad early on Wednesday, 4 November, triggering panic among residents. Fire engines rushed to the scene and brought the blaze under control. No casualties have been reported so far. The exact cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained. Visuals from the spot showed huge flames engulfing the restaurant with thick smoke billowing into the air, and people attempting to douse the fire using a water tanker before fire personnel arrived.

Locals have urged authorities to take necessary measures to prevent such incidents from recurring. Further details are awaited.
