NEW DELHI, India, Feb 14 (NNN-PTI) – The fire that broke out in a factory in south-west Delhi’s Naraina industrial area on Thursday morning, is turning serious and yet to be extinguished, as more fire-tenders were called to the scene, said the Delhi Fire Department.
No death or injury was reported so far.
An official from the Delhi Fire Department said, “The fire is turning from bad to worse and fire fighting work is still going on at a war footing. More fire-tenders have been called to douse the flames.”
