New Delhi:<\/span> At least 21 people were killed and 27 others injured after a major fire broke out at a restaurant in South Delhi’s Malviya Nagar on Wednesday morning, according to fire department officials.<\/p>\n

Authorities said information about the fire was received at around 8:50 am, following which firefighting and rescue operations were launched immediately. Several fire engines and emergency response teams were rushed to the spot.<\/p>\n

As the intensity of the blaze became apparent, the operation was scaled up and the incident was upgraded to a high-severity fire category. Additional firefighting resources, including water tenders, water tankers, quick response vehicles and specialised rescue units, were deployed to contain the flames and search for trapped occupants.<\/p>\n

During the initial rescue effort, firefighters entered the smoke-filled basement of the restaurant and rescued three people, who were shifted to hospital by ambulance for treatment. Search and rescue operations were then expanded to other parts of the building amid fears that more people could be trapped inside.<\/p>\n

Officials said a total of 37 people were rescued from the premises during the operation. However, many victims suffered severe burn injuries and smoke inhalation. Hospitals in the city received multiple casualties as emergency teams worked to evacuate those affected.<\/p>\n

The exact cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Authorities have launched an investigation to ascertain how the blaze started and whether fire safety norms were being followed at the establishment.<\/p>\n

Rescue and cooling operations continued for several hours as officials assessed the extent of the damage and searched the affected structure for any remaining victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
