Topic Description:

National Capital witnessed one of the worst fire tragedies in almost two decades when at least 43 people were killed and several others injured in north Delhi's Anaj Mandi on Sunday morning. Initial enquiries point out many glaring negligencies such as locked escape routes , no fire safety equipment and no fire safety clearance from the authorities. Rescue operations were also hampered due to narrow lanes.

This tragedy has once again brought in focus the fire safety norms in India and to what extent are they adhered to.
