A large fire broke out at a shop in Karol Bagh, Delhi, prompting the Delhi Fire Service to dispatch 22 fire tenders to control the blaze.
A major blaze erupted in a commercial shop located in the bustling Karol Bagh market of Delhi on Monday evening. The fire was first reported to the Delhi Fire Service around 7:30 p.m., and responders quickly mobilised a large contingent of resources.
Firefighters arrived on the scene with 22 fire tenders, the highest number deployed for a single incident in the area in recent months. Crews worked to contain the flames, prevent spread to adjacent shops, and protect nearby pedestrian traffic.
Preliminary reports indicate that no injuries have been reported, and the fire appears to have been confined to the interior of the shop. Authorities have cordoned off the street, causing temporary traffic disruptions, while an investigation into the cause of the fire is underway.
The Delhi Fire Service has urged residents and shop owners to remain vigilant and follow safety protocols, especially in densely packed market zones where fire hazards can quickly escalate.
