Twenty-three people were rescued while two sustained injuries after a fire broke out in a four-storey residential building in Delhi’s Rohini area on Tuesday morning, with dramatic visuals showing residents trapped on balconies amid thick smoke and firefighters carrying out rescue operations using ladders. The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said it received a call regarding the blaze at 7.06 am from a building located on Shamshan Ghat Road in Vijay Vihar Phase-2. The fire broke out on the ground floor of the building where 18 electricity meters and six vehicles — three scooties, two motorcycles and one bicycle — were engulfed in flames, a DFS official said. The blaze triggered panic among residents as thick smoke rapidly spread through the building, trapping several people inside their homes and balconies.
