Fire brigade teams reached the spot quickly and began working to control the flames and rescue people trapped inside. Several patients from Shubham Neuro Care Hospital were safely evacuated, with firefighters breaking glass windows to help them get out.
Because many patients were at risk, around 25 to 30 ambulances were sent to move the injured and others to safer places. Officials said the evacuation is being carried out urgently.
Thick smoke is still rising from the building as firefighters continue their efforts to bring the fire under control.
