The chemical factories were literally an inferno by the time fire services reached the scene. Luckily, there were no casualties, as Monday was a weekly holiday and most of the establishments were closed.

New Delhi (Sputnik) — As many as 41 firefighters were pressed into service to douse a major fire in an industrial area of India's capital city on Monday.

Dark and thick smoke was billowing out of the blaze, as firemen were trying to control the flames.

​"Fire started from a chemical factory and two more factories came under it. 41 engines are working at the spot. No report of any casualty since it was a holiday. The fire was brought under control and damage is being assessed", Delhi Fire Service official Vipin Cantel told Sputnik.

​Some media reports said that four factories had been affected due to the blaze, located opposite to a cinema hall. There was no immediate official statement about how much damage had been caused to the properties.
