Blazes Erupt in Delhi: Fire Incidents Shake Okhla and Connaught Place

Two separate fire incidents in Delhi—one at a godown in Okhla Phase-1 and another at a Connaught Place eatery—have resulted in multiple injuries. Fire services responded promptly to both locations, deploying numerous tenders to manage the flames. Investigations into the causes are ongoing.

A fire erupted at a godown in Delhi's Okhla Phase-1 on Thursday, prompting the Delhi Fire Service to dispatch 24 fire tenders to the scene to control the escalating blaze.

As officials await further information, another fire earlier in the day injured six at Connaught Place—a bustling market area in the capital. The Delhi Fire Service swiftly responded with six fire tenders to tackle the flames that originated from a kitchen leak at Bikkgane Biryani, located in P Block.

The fire was triggered by an LPG cylinder leak, authorities confirmed, with the alert being raised around 11:55 a.m. The injured were transported to RML Hospital for treatment. Investigations continue as Delhi grapples with the aftermath of these incidents.
