Most people died due to smoke & suffocation, says Sanjay Jha

Minister of Bihar Water Resources Department Sanjay Jha said that most of the people have died due to smoke and suffocation rather than burns. A total of 43 people were killed and dozens seriously injured early on Sunday when a massive fire broke out in a factory in a crowded market in West Delhi's Rani Jhansi Road area. The casualty figure is feared to increase.The fire broke out on the first floor and hence occupants on the second floor couldn't escape, say eye witnesses. Many of those who were rescued were declared dead at the hospital due to asphyxia, a condition arising when the body is deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or even death.
