Fire has caused massive havoc in Delhi's Chandni Chowk market. About 50 shops were burnt to ashes in the fire. MP Praveen Khandelwal called a meeting of officials on the spot.

Fire raged in Delhi's Chandni Chowk market for 20 hours. Nearly 50 shops were burnt to ashes in the fire.MP Praveen Khandelwal called a meeting of officials on the spot. 57 fire engines were present at the spot to control the fire. The fire could be controlled after a lot of effort.

The MP from Chandni Chowk reached the spot and took stock of the situation. He said, "The shops have been completely damaged. People told that about 50 shops have been burnt. I am calling a meeting of all the officials on the spot. The electric wires hanging here have been like this for centuries. I will ensure that the hanging wires in the areas of Old Delhi are shifted underground."

The fire broke out on June 13

A fire broke out in a clothes and book warehouse in Marwari Katra area of Delhi's famous Chandni Chowk market at 13:30 pm on June 13. After this, the fire department was informed about the fire at 5:00 pm. About 40 fire brigade vehicles reached the spot and after a lot of hard work, the fire was brought under control. The comforting news is that there was no report of any casualty in the incident.

Bleeding collapsed

Let us tell you, the building collapsed in the fire incident. This happened because the houses build on the top of the old buildings were also converted into markets. Shops have been built one after the other on three to four floors. The building in which the fire broke out collapsed. Also, the streets of the market are so narrow that it is impossible for the fire brigade to enter inside it. This is the reason why it took so much time to control the fire.

Kohli kept ticking the scorecard with singles and doubles and got boundaries at regular intervals. Rahul was
