Twenty persons died in a fire that broke out in a building in Delhi’s Malviya Nagar area on Wednesday, ANI quoted Delhi Police as saying.
Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Malviya Nagar Satish Upadhyay told ANI that 47 persons were rescued from the multi-story building.
The fire was brought under control quickly, the news agency quoted Fire Officer AK Malik as saying. The cause of the fire was unclear.
Foreign citizens were among the persons present in the building.
Based on preliminary inquiries the building did not appear to be a residential structure, Malik said.
“Rather, it appears that most of the occupants were individuals whose known people were being treated in the MAX Hospital located directly across the street,” he was quoted as saying. “Therefore, it is likely that these individuals were staying here for that specific purpose...”
Some persons were rescued from the basement of a restaurant in the building, PTI quoted a Delhi Fire Service official as saying.
