Delhi fire: at least 43 dead in ‘horrific’ factory blaze
Victims mostly labourers and factory workers sleeping in a building in Delhi’s old quarter
Indian authorities are investigating the cause of a devastating fire that has killed at least 43 people in a crowded market in central Delhi.
Firefighters fought the blaze from a distance of 100 metres because it broke out in one of the area’s many alleyways, tangled in electrical wire and too narrow for vehicles to access, authorities at the scene said.
