This comes a week after a massive fire ripped through a four-storey building housing illegal manufacturing units in Anaj Mandi, killing 43.
At least 62 were injured.
Officials found that it was packed with combustible material and had just one door, virtually making it a “fire trap”.
The fire was the the second deadliest in Delhi history.
