Delhi blaze destroys building

NEW DELHI, NOV 28
A four-storeyed building went up in flames and a portion of it collapsed in central Delhi today after plastic stored in its ground floor caught fire following suspected short-circuit injuring four persons.
Four persons, including three firemen, suffered injuries when a portion of the building collapsed following the blaze that was reported from the building located in Maliwada locality of Naya Sada near Chowri Bazar at around 5 pm, fire brigade officials said.
Two mysterious explosions were also heard from inside the building. The building collapsed around 9:15 pm and the injured firemen were taken to a nearby hospital.
The multi-storeyed building appeared like a hot blazing inferno with red flames and thick smokes billowing out.
“The raging fire led to the collapse of a portion of the building. Fire which broke out in the ground floor spread to the other floors and within no time, it was all over the building,” the officials said.
