A massive fire broke out on Friday night in a four-storey commercial building in the Indian capital, killing at least 27 people and leaving several injured.
Dozens of people have been rescued from the building, which contains mostly shops, Indian authorities said.
The building is located in the Mundka area of New Delhi.
The cause of the fire and other details are not known as more than 20 firefighters were trying to put out the blaze.
“Concerned about the tragic fire accident in a building near the Mundka metro station in Delhi. My condolences to the families of the victims. I wish a speedy recovery to the injured “, wrote on Twitter the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind.
Fires are common in India, where building laws and safety norms are often ignored by builders and residents.
In 2019, a fire caused by a short circuit engulfed a building in New Delhi and killed 43 people./REL
