Additional SP Himanshu Jangid said the narrow approach road to the hotel is hampering rescue work.
The fire was apparently caused 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,” Mangila Kalosia, who was staying at the hotel, said.
He said a man also jumped from a window and sustained head injuries. PTI AG DV DV
