A fire broke out on Sunday morning at a nail polish manufacturing factory in Delhi's Narela Industrial Area. The Delhi Fire Service received the call around 9:17 am and deployed 12 fire tenders. The fire spread to the second and third floors and was difficult to control due to stored items blocking staircases. After nearly four hours, the fire was contained without any reported injuries or casualties. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
