Delhi: Major fire leads to collapse of 4-storey building in Mansarovar Garden

A major fire broke out at a four-storeyed building in West Delhi's Mansarovar Garden, leading to the collapse of the whole complex on Monday.

The Delhi Fire Service received a call about a fire at the building that housed a semi-mall at around 3.45 PM today. 

Thirty fire tenders were rushed to control the blaze, a fire service official said.

Goods in the shops of the building were gutted but no one was reported injured in the fire, he said.
