Blaze at Mukherjee Nagar PG, fire officer says all evacuated safely

New Delhi, Sep 27 (PTI) Thirty five people, one of them a four-year-old girl, were rescued by firemen from a blaze that engulfed a women's paying guest facility in an apartment in Northwest Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar area on Wednesday evening.

According to officials from the fire department, five persons, including the girl, were taken to hospital since they had inhaled fumes.

While the fire department sent 20 fire tenders to the site, only eight could reach the spot because of traffic congestion and narrow lanes.
