A huge fire erupted in a classroom in Jolly Kids Play School in Manikonda on Tuesday morning.
There were some 20 kids in the classroom when the fire erupted. The crying toddlers ran helter skelter on seeing the flames. The alert school employees immediately shifted the children to another place.
Upon receiving the information, the fire services and DRF personnel rushed to the school and put out the fire.
It is learnt that the fire was caused due to a short-circuit in the air conditioner in the classroom.
The parents of the children lamented that the school management remained mum on the incident. However, all those concerned heaved a sigh of relief as there were no casualties or injuries.
