Fire at New Delhi factory kills 43
At least 43 people were killed in India's capital New Delhi on Sunday (December 8) when a fire swept through a six-story factory where laborers were sleeping, government officials said.

The factory was making handbags and lots of raw material was stored inside the building due to which the fire spread quickly, local media reported. However, no details were immediately available on the cause of the fire.

The factory was operating in a congested residential area. The fire was doused and a team of National Disaster Response Force was searching the factory to find out if any more people were trapped, a police official told Reuters.

The Delhi state government will conduct a probe and action will be taken against those responsible for the fire, Imran Hussain, minister of food and civil supplies, told reporters.

The report is based on Reuters
