NEW DELHI: A major fire broke out at a building near Chandni Chowk metro station in the national capital on Sunday night.
A portion of the building has collapsed due to fire however, no casualties have been reported in the incident so far. The fire broke out at around 10.30pm yesterday.
“Due to the narrow lanes, our vehicles faced a lot of trouble in commuting to and from the incident site. It is a 4-storey building filled with clothes,” said Dharampal Bhardwaj, deputy fire officer.
The blaze has been brought under control but cooling operation at the spot is still under way.
“Over 100 fire officers are deployed here along with 35 fire tenders. Fire has been controlled but cooling operation is being done from outside as a part of the building has fallen. No casualty has been reported so far. It’ll take time to douse off fire completely,” said Sanjay Tomar, deputy chief fire officer.
