A day after the Mundka fire tragedy that began unfolding on Friday afternoon only to claim 27 lives after a blaze engulfed a three-storey building near the Mundka metro station, rescue operations continued with the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Delhi Fire Services (DFS) and Delhi Police teams being deployed in the area.
The building, according to sources in the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), is understood to be “10 to 12 years old” and had been constructed “without a sanctioned building plan”; two of the four floors of the structure had multiple manufacturing units operating out of it.
