Minor Fire Spark at Delhi's School of Planning and Architecture

A fire broke out at the School of Planning and Architecture in Delhi, not the Ministry of Education, as clarified by authorities. The minor blaze, swiftly controlled, resulted in no casualties or damage. Initial reports were corrected, and the incident involved multiple emergency services.

On Monday, the Ministry of Education clarified that a fire incident labeled initially as occurring at its office was actually at the School of Planning and Architecture in New Delhi, not their office on Dr. Rajendra Prasad Road.

According to the Ministry, the blaze at SPA was minor and promptly managed, leading to no casualties or property damage. Delhi Fire Service corrected earlier misleading reports of the incident's location.

The fire erupted at 10 a.m. at SPA, near ITO in Delhi, combating efforts involving 8 fire trucks, ambulances, and police. The fire was extinguished with no reported injuries. Investigations to determine the cause continue.
