Cars gutted in fire at Jhandewalan complex, no casualties reported

A massive fire broke out at a commercial complex building in central Delhi’s Jhandewalan extension on Tuesday. Several cars were gutted in blaze as parts of the burning hoardings fell on them but there were no casualties reported, said a senior Delhi Fire Services (DFS) official.

According to the DFS chief Atul Garg, 25 fire tenders were sent to the spot to douse the flames.

The building that houses a private bank, multiple offices and a pizza outlet, caught fire, around 1.47 pm, said a senior DFS official.

“Prompt action by locals and passers-by helped in the immediate evacuation of people who were present inside the Anarkali Complex in Block E3,” the official said.
