Deadly paint factory fire kills 11 in India’s capital

At least 11 people died and four others were injured when a building collapsed during a massive fire that broke out at a paint factory in the northern part of India’s capital New Delhi a day earlier, a fire department official said on Friday (February 16). Delhi Fire Services rushed 22 fire engines to the Alipur area after receiving a call around p.m. (1155 GMT) on Thursday (February 15) and brought the fire under control within four hours, its chief Atul Garg said. “Fire that involves paint is very hard to extinguish and because of that the labourers got trapped inside after the building collapsed due to a blast,“ added Garg. The exact cause of the fire was still unknown and rescue teams and firefighters were continuing to search for trapped people, authorities said.
