A massive fire that broke out in Bhagirath palace market at old Delhi’s famours Chandni Chowk last evening is blazing still. About 40 fire engines are at the spot trying to douse the fire.
The fire department said locals informed them about the incident at 9.20 pm, after which they rushed in the fire engines to the site.
The narrow lanes in Old Delhi made it difficult for the fire trucks to reach the incident site.
“A major part of the building has been damaged and officials are using remote control fire fighting machine to douse the flames,” said Atul Garg, Delhi Fire Service Director.
Fire spread to adjacent buildings in the area with the flames touching the electricity wires.
