Surat:  More than 19 students of a coaching class died and several others were injured after a major fire broke out in a four-storey commercial complex here Friday afternoon.
         
The horrific incident took place in a building at the Taxshila Complex in Gujarat's Sarthana area. 

In a video, students were seen jumping off from third and fourth-floor windows amid plumes of thick smoke rising from the building.

Nineteen fire tenders and two hydraulic platforms have been pressed into service for dousing and rescue operations in Sarthana area of Surat, said an official of Surat fire control room.
         
Local people helped with the rescue operation to save stranded students and other occupants of the building housing coaching classes and other establishments.

"Around ten students trapped on the third and fourth floors jumped from windows to save themselves from fire and smoke. Many have been rescued and sent to the hospital. The operation to douse the fire is on," said a city fire official. 

More details awaited.
