New Delhi: As many as 43 people were killed when a fire broke out at a luggage manufacturing factory in Anaj Mandi on Rani Jhansi Road, a crowded area in North Delhi this morning. Most of the people who died were labourers who were sleeping at the factory when the fire broke out at 5 am.
Thirty fire trucks have been pressed into service and have taken the situation under control. The fire is suspected to have started at the workshop of the bag manufacturing factory which was operating in an area, whose narrow and congested lanes are lined with many small manufacturing and storage units.
