Five people died on Thursday after a fire broke out in an under-construction building inside one of the campuses of Serum Institute of India (SII). The fire engulfed 3 top floors of the 6 storeyed building in SII’s Manjari premises in Pune. As per the police, a total of 9 people were evacuated from the spot and 5 dead bodies of contract workers were recovered by the fire brigade personnel.
