A fire broke out at a shoe factory and godown in Outer Delhi’s Udyog Nagar on June 21 morning. While six workers were rescued, six remain missing. The building has been declared dangerous by MCD officials. Police have filed a case against the owner, who is absconding, under IPC section 308 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). The fire broke out around 8 am and 23 fire tenders were rushed to the spot, reported The Indian Express. After gauging the intensity, nine more were sent. Officials tried to douse the blaze first before entering the building to find those missing. It took hours before the fire was brought under control, around 6 pm. Until early evening, cooling operations were on as smoke was still coming out of the building. Watch the video to know more.
