The cause of the fire, which broke out in the early hours of Monday in the Kirari area of the city, is not yet know.

“It was a four-storey building which was mostly used as a cloth godown,” said Atul Garg, director of fire services. “A [gas] cylinder burst because of the fire and a part of a wall also collapsed.”

The dead included five women. All of them were workers who lived and worked in the building.

The warehouse fire came only days after a blaze in a factory in New Delhi’s Anaj Mandi area killed 43 people,Aljazeera reported.

Accidents and fires are common in India, where safety standards are often disregarded.

Poor fire protection devices, missing emergency exits and outdated electrical systems are not uncommon.
