Most of the guests were asleep when the blaze erupted.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The fire quickly engulfed the hotel, filling the premises with thick smoke and trapping guests inside. Firefighters rushed to the spot and brought the blaze under control. The injured were rescued and taken to Rampurhat Government Medical College and Hospital for treatment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>Hotel officials said an electrical short circuit may have triggered the fire. The exact cause is yet to be confirmed by authorities.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>Munmun Mondal, a guest who managed to escape, said, &#8220;Suddenly the entire hotel was engulfed with smoke. We couldn&#8217;t breathe and couldn&#8217;t find an escape route immediately.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Tarapith was particularly crowded as Monday marked the last Monday of Shravan, drawing large numbers of devotees to the temple town.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>Priya Roy, a local BJP worker who reached the spot to help with the rescue, said, &#8220;As it was raining early in the morning, the boarders were sleeping soundly and we too initially couldn&#8217;t understand what had happened inside the hotel.&#8221;<span
