  "account": "Delhi: A blaze erupted at Shanti Mohalla, Gali No. 6, a warehouse district in Shahdara district, following a massive fire at a clothing shop in Karol Bagh's Gaffar Market. Several Delhi Fire Service (DFS) vehicles were dispatched to the scene promptly. Firefighters are diligently attempting to control the flames. According to Anil Verma, a local resident, the fire was reportedly sparked by a short circuit. The fire ignited suddenly in a dead-end lane under the jurisdiction of the Krishna Nagar police station. All the properties in this lane are used as textile warehouses. There are no reported casualties. The incident occurred hours after a significant fire at a shop in Karol Bagh's Gaffar Market's Puri Plaza, 13 Block, Chain Wali Gali. The Delhi Police suspect overheating or overcharging of batteries caused the fire in the Gaffar Market incident. The area has approximately 140 shops across two buildings, with 27 fire tenders and around 125 personnel deployed. The fire is classified as medium level. It started in a shop dealing with batteries and quickly spread to the upper floors. The firefighting efforts were challenging due to narrow lanes and the presence of highly flammable goods. Although fire extinguishers were installed, the building lacked a proper fire protection system.",
