Smoke from a fire at a
furniture market, which has been doused, drifted inside the Magenta Line of the
Delhi Metro network in south-east Delhi and disrupted train services for a few
hours this morning, the public transporter tweeted.
"Train services have
resumed between Botanical Garden and Jasola Vihar Shaheen Bagh. Thank you for
your patience," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) tweeted.
There were, however, no reports of casualties, Delhi Fire
Services said.
"The fire was
reported at 5.55 a.m., and 17 fire tenders were immediately rushed to the
spot," said Atul Garg, Director, Delhi Fire Services.
The fire engines are
trying to contain the fire.
The fire has also
affected Metro train services on the Magenta Line. Officials said no train
would run between Shaheen Bagh and Botanical Garden stations till the fire is
brought under control.
Delhi Police had written to the South Delhi
