A major fire broke out early Wednesday in a cluster of around 200 temporary tin-shed structures housing labourers near Delhi's Udyog Bhawan, reportedly originating from an electric panel. The blaze spread rapidly, intensified by LPG cylinders and electrical wiring, prompting a large-scale response involving about 20 fire tenders. Firefighters contained the fire by 5:30 a.m., with no casualties or injuries reported. Authorities are investigating the exact cause and assessing the damage amid ongoing redevelopment work at Udyog Bhawan.
