Dozens killed in Delhi factory fire

Описание: At least 43 people, mostly migrant workers, were killed early on Sunday after a fire gutted a four-storey manufacturing factory in a crammed area in India's capital, New Delhi.

The victims were asleep when the fire broke out at 5am local time on the third floor of the 55-square-metre factory and soon engulfed the entire building.

Thirty fire engines rushed to the factory, which is tucked inside congested lanes lined with many small manufacturing and storage units. Police said that most of the victims died due to asphyxiation and that the death toll was expected to rise.
