Emergency services rushed to the scene but it took time to access the 6 story buildings located in a congested area of delhis old city where narrow lanes are lined with small manufacturing and Storage Units the apartment get by we received a call at 5 22 am and we initially sent 4 Fire Service Trucks to the spot and in total 35 vehicles 150 people were deployed the rescued survivors have been sent to different hospitals in the city. The workshop produced handbags and luggage and flammable Raw Materials evidently fueled the fire as it swept through the building one eyewitness blamed electrical faults for the blaze og it was a short circuit there was a fire in 2 buildings with a common staircase. As authorities launched their investigations questions have already arisen as to whether the factory was operating with valid permits and was following fire safety codes. Correspondent michelle just while has been tracking this story for us she joins us now from delhi what more 1st of all do we know about the fire so far. Well paula we know that the 1st call about the incident was made very early local time shortly off to 5 am and todi fire tenders were rushed through the sport to this ego where the our fire broke out is actually very congested its also about residential complexes and this factory is basically a small book shop that has a collection of small workshops in the area and the firewood is needed in a Bag Manufacturing unit and rescue operations continue through the morning the fire was controlled produce someone but there has been a heavy loss of life for a lot of the toilet d. s in Law Enforcement as well as politicians are showing up at the start of the spot and the chief minister of delhi has already said that if that didnt include he would be instituted and within 7 days this should have a report about what exactly was the cause of the fire. You mentioned that the death toll there is higher here its expected to rise what more do we know about the conditions in and around this building. While called the death toll is more street people who were actually walking in the factory and they were actually sleeping in the factory its important to point out that questions are being raised about if this fact below not so actually fire safety norms may not have been abided by it but even more importantly labor norms may not have been abided by and these workers could have been sleeping in the factory at 5 am because it is cheaper to stay the quicker it is more efficient for them to start working already so these norms are not being met and this is not the 1st such fire incident in the city just last year in january 17 people lost their lives at an e. T. S. The fire cracker factory so the norms that are supposed to be instituted across the city but theyre not implemented as kills me so officials will be looking into how to improve this has well once they figured out what exactly happened so sadly not the 1st time that weve seen fire claimed dozens of lives in the city how worth already is now responding. Well of us that called the chief minister has said that there will be an investigation but even but it took leaders higher up are we in the Prime Minister by mr herder in gym or the put out a statement on twitter saying that the incident was very tragic and he sent us condolences to the families of the victims theres been compensation announced to the families of the victims by the State Government as well all ministers responded the president as he had been but of course while the authorities audigy acting quickly to this what it will be cool show is if any of these implementations any of these norms will actually would change Going Forward because as you said these incidences keep repeating.
