There was no immediate report of any casualty but several people were suspected trapped on the upper floors and terrace, prompting authorities to press into service contingents of the elite commandos of Force One and city police’s Quick Response Teams.

According to sources, nearly 5,000 people vacated the building within 20 minutes of the fire breaking out.
Fire brigade personnel with huge hydraulic ladders were seen bringing down those trapped.
Choking in thick black smoke, several people were seen standing precariously on the parapet and balconies, waiting to be rescued. Many could be seen rappelling down the ropes and drain pipes in a desperate attempt to escape.

An eye witnesses said some people were injured but no immediate official confirmation was available.

“I ran down and pulled out my cabinet colleague Jayant Patil from his third floor cabin,” Pachpute said.
Animal Husbandry Minister Madhukar Chavan said he heard several blasts in the air-conditioners at he attempted to escape.

He said frantic efforts were being made to reach those still in the building through phones.
“I also appeal to those who have access to TVs to rush to the roof-top. There are helicopters waiting to rescue you,” he said”
6.25pm: A special naval team is at the Mantralaya building even as the Mumbai police ordered an investigation into the cause of the fire that gutted several floors of the secretariat. The fire finally looked to be under control, a full two and a half hours after it first broke out.
5.55pm: The latest reports coming from Mantralaya state that all those trapped as a result of the fire have been rescued. Several injured have been admitted to hospital, but no one is believed to be in much danger.
