Summary

A fire broke out at a footwear factory in Delhi's Mangolpuri Industrial Area on the night of October 30-31, reportedly starting in the basement. Four workers died and two were injured; six people were pulled out, and four were pronounced dead at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital while two were treated. Firefighting and rescue operations were underway, with numerous fire tenders deployed. The fire was reported to have trapped workers in a building without ventilation. Reports differ on details, including the number of fire tenders and the timing of control. The cause has not been confirmed by police. The factory owner's father and a supervisor have been arrested and booked for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, and an FIR cites safety lapses such as blocked exits and no smoke detection. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta expressed grief and assured support to the families.
