A fire broke out in Delhi's Wazirpur industrial area, following a cylinder blast early Monday morning. The flames quickly spread and engulfed nearby jhuggis, injuring a woman. Four nearby jhuggis reportedly burned before the fire could be brought under control.
At 7:54 am, the Delhi Fire Service received a report of a cylinder blast in a house in Wazirpur. A fire truck was rushed to the spot. The flames were doused, and the fire was brought under control in an hour. At 8:40 am, the Delhi Fire Service sent a 'stop' message.
"One woman sustained injuries in the incident, and she was provided immediate medical assistance," a fire officer said, as reported by news agency PTI.
The extent of injuries is yet to be ascertained.
A detailed investigation into the incident is underway.
In a separate incident last week, two teenagers were charred to death, while four sustained burn injuries after a fire broke out at an e-rickshaw charging and parking station in Delhi's Shahdara.
On May 25 morning, at around 6:40, fire broke out in a tin shed structure which functioned as a godown-cum-parking and charging station for e-rickshaws, as well as a storage house for sugarcane juice machines in Shahdara's Ram Nagar area.
Five fire tenders were rushed to the site. During the rescue operation, the fire department recovered two charred bodies from the site. The four burned were rushed to Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital for treatment.

Friday November 08, 2024हमारी हवा जहरीली हो रही है. गुरुवार की शाम को जब मैं इस मुद्दे पर लिखने बैठी तो AQI लगातार 400 पार जाकर दम घोंट रहा था. बहुत लोगों को यह मामला बोरिंग लगे, लेकिन जब आप अपने साथ काम करने वालों को खांसते-हांफते देखते-सुनते हैं, तो चिंता होने लगती है. सुबह उठते ही दरवाजे खिड़कियां खोलने के लिए डॉक्टर मना कर रहे हैं. बड़े बुजुर्गों के लिए तो मॉर्निंग वॉक बाहर की दुनिया से सीधे संपर्क का ज़रिया है, लेकिन डॉक्टर इसकी भी मनाही कर रहे हैं.
