Additional SP Himanshu Jangid said the narrow approach road to the hotel has hampered the rescue work.
The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained but, it seems that the fire was sparked by a short circuit. A guest at the hotel said there was a sound of a blast after which he, along with his wife, ran out.
"A woman threw her child in my lap from a window. She also tried to jump off the building but we stopped her," said Mangila Kalosia, who was staying at the hotel. He added a man also jumped from a window and sustained head injuries.
