 At least 11 people died and four others were injured when a building collapsed during a massive fire that broke out at a paint factory in the northern part of India's capital New Delhi. A fire department official said Delhi fire services rushed 22 fire engines to the Alipur area after receiving a call and brought the fire under control within four hours, its chief Atulgarh said. Fire officials said that the blaze started on the ground floor of the factory, trapping the victims on the floors above with no way out. The building, which also houses a chemical warehouse, is located in the Alipur area in northern New Delhi. The charred bodies of the 11 victims were recovered from the rubble after fire engines doused the flames after battling for more than five hours. According to the Delhi police, the fire was preceded by a blast, probably caused by chemicals kept in the factory due to the blast, some nearby houses and shops also caught fire. Some of the injured persons were residing in those places, fires are common in India, or building laws and safety norms are often flouted by builders and residents.
