Fire, death, probe, silence: Magisterial inquiries are Delhi’s official way of moving on
Every government that has ruled Delhi has ordered a magisterial inquiry after a major fire. Not one report has ever been placed in the public domain.
A massive blaze engulfed an auto parts factory here on Tuesday, a fire officer said, adding that there were no reports of casualties. The fire broke out at 5.15 a.m. at the factory located in West Delhi’s Peeragarhi area.
The blaze that started out on the ground floor, quickly spread to the first and second floors.
