Smoke was everywhere, no fire safety gear: Eyewitness

Kanpur | Wednesday | 20th June, 2018

Summary:

I came to know about the fire when I saw smoke entering the room from the thin slit between the door and floor. "I grabbed my phone and a bag carrying important belongings and jumped over to the terrace of the adjoining hotel to save myself. LUCKNOW: "I was asleep in room number 401 of SSJ International hotel when I woke up on hearing commotion and cries early in the morning. "I found a glass window at the end of the corridor, broke it open with my bare hands and jumped to the adjoining terrace. I rushed out of the room immediately and somehow found the way out to the roof with much difficulty in that thick smoke cover.".
