The fire was quickly brought under control and there were no casualties.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, a fire broke out at Kingdom of Dreams in Gurugram Sector 29.
Several fire tenders were rushed to the spot and firefighting operations were underway.
The cause of the fire was being ascertained and there were no immediate reports of any casualties.
“Our office is located right behind this building, less than half a kilometre away, which is how we noticed the smoke rising. There was a massive column of smoke originating from the thermocol installed at the front of the structure. I immediately dispatched five or six of our vehicles all at once. We do not know the cause of the fire yet, as the facility has been shut down for quite some time. A fire had broken out here once before, which also occurred during the night…No, there were no casualties. The place was empty and closed down; it is entirely reduced to a heap of scrap,” Fire Officer Naresh Kumar said.
Earlier last month, at least 21 people, including foreign nationals, were killed in a tragic fire at a hotel in Delhi’s Malviya Nagar.
The incident raised serious concerns over the fire safety norms and prompted the government to order a safety audit of commercial buildings across the city.
