A fire breaks out in labour slums near Udyog Bhawan in Delhi, according to fire service officials and multiple reports. The blaze starts in or near an electric panel in the settlement and then spreads to nearby temporary structures. The Delhi Fire Service deploys a large response, with sources citing about 20–24 fire tenders and multiple fire vehicles, to bring the situation under control. Firefighters contain the blaze by about 5:30 a.m. during the early-hours operation. Both reports say there are no confirmed injuries or casualties at the time of reporting. Investigations continue to determine the exact cause and circumstances behind the ignition and how the flames spread within the densely packed area. One report also notes that the incident comes days after a larger slum fire behind Maulana Azad Medical College, where the fire affected residential areas and storage materials and spread quickly, though details of that earlier incident are not presented as part of the current fire’s confirmed cause.
