New Delhi: March 18, 2026
A heart-wrenching accident occurred on Wednesday in the Palam area of the capital, Delhi, where seven people lost their lives due to a massive fire in a multi-story residential building in Sadh Nagar. The deceased include three innocent children. While initial reports feared six deaths, the count rose to seven during the rescue operations.
Upon receiving information about the incident, Delhi Fire Service vehicles and approximately 30 firefighters reached the spot to begin rescue efforts. The fire was so intense that several people were trapped inside the building. Teams from the Fire Brigade and Delhi Police are conducting joint relief operations to ensure any others still trapped inside are brought out safely.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta expressed deep sorrow over this unfortunate incident. Writing on the social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter), she stated that the administration and the fire department are working diligently on rescue efforts.
Given the gravity of the accident, the Chief Minister has issued orders for a magisterial inquiry to determine the actual cause of the fire and to take action against those found guilty of negligence.
Note: Just a small heads-up—while your provided text mentions Rekha Gupta as the Chief Minister, please note that as of today, the political leadership in Delhi might differ (historically led by the AAP). However, I have translated the text exactly as you provided it!
