Massive fire breaks out at residential complex housing Rajya Sabha MPs in New Delhi

Chaos erupted in Delhi this afternoon as a massive fire broke out at Brahmaputra Apartments, a residential complex reserved for Members of Parliament. Thick, dark smoke billowed into the sky from the flats on Bishambhar Das Marg, barely 200 meters from the Parliament House, sending residents and passersby into a panic.

The Delhi Fire Service received the first alert around 1:20 PM, and six fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the scene. Firefighters worked swiftly to contain the blaze, which primarily affected the stilt floor, though the upper floors also suffered external damage. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the fire.

Brahmaputra Apartments, a VIP residential complex, houses several Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs. The proximity to India’s legislative heart added to the urgency of the situation. Despite the chaos, officials have confirmed that no casualties have been reported so far.
