New Delhi, June 17: A fire broke out at a restaurant in the South Campus area of New Delhi on Wednesday morning. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries. The fire has since been brought under control, although the cause remains unknown.
According to the Delhi Fire Service (DFS), the incident was reported at 6:09 AM at a takeaway restaurant near Mother Dairy in Satya Niketan, which falls under the Chanakyapuri jurisdiction. The fire ignited in the furniture and utensils located on the ground floor of the restaurant.
Multiple fire engines were dispatched to the scene to extinguish the blaze. By approximately 6:50 AM, ADO Vinay confirmed that the fire had been controlled and that there were no casualties.
Notably, there have been several fire incidents in Delhi this June. On June 14, a restaurant near the Kalkaji-Govindpuri flyover caught fire. Officials reported that an elderly woman was safely rescued. Initial reports indicated that the fire caused damage to the basement, ground floor, and three upper floors of the building, including a temporary structure on the rooftop.
During the incident, three commercial LPG cylinders exploded, exacerbating the fire and presenting additional challenges for firefighters. In a swift rescue operation, DFS personnel successfully evacuated 70 to 75-year-old Sita Devi from the second floor.
On the night of June 12, a fire in a building in Tughlakabad Extension resulted in three fatalities. Investigations revealed that the fire was intentionally set. A 17-year-old girl from Navjeevan Camp was identified and apprehended. She disclosed that a 27-year-old woman named Sarita had incited her to set fire to a scooter belonging to Deepak, who lived on the fifth floor of the same building, over a financial dispute.
Following this, police detained Sarita for questioning. She revealed that the plot was orchestrated at the behest of Niranjan (33) and his brother Rajkumar (27), residents of Navjeevan Camp, as a means of revenge for a personal dispute. Subsequently, police arrested all three suspects along with the minor.
Additionally, on June 3, a fire at a hotel in Malviya Nagar claimed the lives of 21 people, including several foreign nationals.
