Delhi Gaffar market shop blazes on Dhantaras

Delhi's Gaffar Market experienced a significant blaze on Dhanteras following a fire in a mobile accessories shop during the early hours of Friday, November 6. The conflagration quickly engulfed a four-story commercial building, leading to the deployment of approximately 22 fire tenders. While there were no fatalities or injuries reported, the inferno caused extensive damage to property.

Police suspect that the overheating or overcharging of mobile batteries may have sparked the fire. The incident occurred at Puri Plaza, following a recent collapse in Old Delhi that claimed the lives of two laborers and injured at least four more.
