A fire breaks out at the office building of India’s Ministry of Education in Delhi’s ITO area, according to multiple reports. The Delhi Fire Service responds to the blaze, and rescue operations are underway, NDTV reports. Separate coverage notes that firefighters reach the site quickly and begin efforts to control the fire.
One report also includes a response from the Ministry of Education, which says there is no fire at its Delhi office. This claim is attributed to the Ministry and is presented alongside the reports of a blaze and an ongoing response by the Delhi Fire Service.
The accounts therefore describe both a reported fire incident in the ITO area involving the Ministry of Education office premises and a subsequent denial from the Ministry itself. At the time of reporting, the presence of smoke or an incident prompting the fire department response is indicated, while the Ministry contests that a fire is occurring or occurred at its office. Further official details beyond the initial response and the competing statements are not provided in the excerpts.
