Massive fire engulfs plastics market in Delhi

NEW DELHI - A massive fire broke out in a plastic scrap market in Mundka, in outer Delhi today.

According to the fire department officials, the market may have been set on fire deliberately by some people. However, the source of the fire is yet to be determined.

“A fire call was received at 2.20 early morning and we initially sent about four fire engines. But then the blaze was raised to medium level then serious level. A huge storage area is there and it takes a lot of time to control these types of fires where a lot of smoke and gases are there,” said R C Sharma, director of the Delhi Fire Service.

There have been no casualties reported till now. (ANI)
