Fire at factory in India leads six people in panic to jump from window of neighboring building

A large-scale fire hit a factory in India, in the Swaroop Nagar neighborhood, in north Delhi, on Sunday (13). The large fire forced six people, including three children, to jump from a window on the third floor of a neighboring building to escape the flames.

The moment of panic was recorded by people who were on the street and posted on social media. The images show columns of smoke rising and the strong flames consuming the establishment. The injured jumped desperately in the face of the risk of being hit by the fire.

According to reports in the local media, the factory operated in a building next to the one where the victims were. Authorities informed that there were no workers at the location at the time of the fire, which occurred in the late morning.

According to what authorities told the local press, the address was manufacturing equipment... (the article was interrupted).

Why this matters

The fire highlights the safety risks in urban factories in India, where such incidents are frequent. Residents of buildings near industrial establishments face immediate dangers when occurrences like this happen. The severity of the case, with children among the victims, raises concern about safety inspections in mixed residential areas.
