July 7, 2025: A major fire broke out early Monday morning at a hotel located above an Axis Bank branch in Sahibabad’s busy M4U Market, creating panic in the area.

As per initial visuals shared by IANS, massive flames were seen engulfing the upper floor of the building. The fire reportedly started in the early hours, causing chaos and fear among nearby residents and shopkeepers.
