A major fire erupted in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri on Sunday, according to fire officials.
The Delhi Fire Service has reached the spot, and a dousing operation is underway. “We got a call around 10:30 in the morning that the slum areas in Jahangirpuri had caught fire. When we reached here, we found that a godown of waste materials, located a little outside the slum areas, had blazed,” said a fireman present at the spot.
“It would have caused danger to the slum. 11–12 vehicles have reached the spot. “The cooling process will take a while, but we have taken it under control”, said Rajeev Kumar, a fireman present at the spot.
On being asked about how much time it is going to take to extinguish the fire, he said, “The plastics kept in the godown have burnt. They take a while to get doused. It will probably take 1-2 hours.”
