A fire broke out at the office of the ministry of social justice located in a building in central Delhi’s CGO complex on Wednesday morning. Twenty-four fire engines have been rushed to the spot.
The fire started at the Pandit Deendayal Antyodaya Bhawan in the CGO complex around 8.30am in the morning. Delhi’s chief fire officer Atul Garg said no casualties have been reported so far. The building houses several government offices and is located near Lodhi Road.
