Second Fire In A Month

Barely a month ago, on March 6, a fire had gutted a part of a slum in Chotpur, Noida Sector 63. This is the same area where Saturday's fire broke out.

Again, on March 16, a fire broke out at a garment factory in Sector 63.

A fortnight later, yet another fire broke out at a Surajpur factory, trapping several workers inside. They were rescued after much effort by firefighters.

On April 1, a blaze engulfed Krishna Plaza in Sector 18. Trapped people jumped out of the building to save their lives. Many were injured in the process.
