NEW DELHI, Dec 8, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – At least 30 people have died in a
factory fire in India’s capital New Delhi, with the toll still expected to
rise, police told AFP Sunday.
The blaze broke out in the early hours in the city’s old quarter, whose
narrow and congested lanes are lined with many small manufacturing and
storage units.
“We… have since rescued at least 50 people,” Sunil Choudhary, New Delhi’s
deputy chief fire officer, told AFP.
