A woman in Prayagraj saved her three children during a residential fire before she died. A video of the incident surfaced on social media on Saturday, days after the May 12 fire.
A tragic incident has come to light from Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj, where a woman lost her life in a fire incident, but not before she ensured the safety of her children. While the tragedy took place on May 12, a video showing the heartbreaking moments and the mother’s selfless and heroic act surfaced on social media only as late as Saturday, May 16.
The clip shows the woman stranded on the terrace of a multi-storey residential building as smoke rises from a fire, supposedly on a lower floor. She struggled amid the thick smoke for 30 minutes to help her three children get evacuated.
As the fire continued to spread, she wrapped her one-year-old baby in a bedsheet and managed to pass them over to her neighbours across the lane. After the infant was pulled to safety, the neighbours placed a ladder between the two buildings.
