More details are awaited as the situation develops.
Delhi and its surrounding areas have seen an increase in fire-related incidents due to intense heat. On Saturday, a fire broke out in Ghaziabad’s Tronica City industrial area, engulfing a packaging factory adjacent to the national capital.
Around 24 fire tenders were deployed to bring the blaze under control. “At the time of the fire, three employees were present in the factory, who were evacuated safely,” Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Rahul Kumar told ANI.
He informed the media that the fire had spread to the upper floors of the Tronica factory. “Due to winds, the fire also spread to nearby factories, prompting the call for additional fire vehicles from nearby districts. Water tankers were sourced from the municipal corporation to help douse the fire,” Kumar said.
