Father, 2 children killed in fire at apartment in Delhi's Dwarka
Three members of a family were killed in a fire at a flat in a residential society in Delhi's Dwarka Sector 13 Tuesday morning. According to initial reports, the fire, which broke out at 9.58 am, engulfed the eighth and nine floors of the Shabad Apartment complex. Five fire tenders were rushed to the scene to contain the blaze, officials from the Delhi Fire Services said. Two children, a boy and a girl, both aged 10, attempted to escape the fire by jumping from a balcony, said the police. They were declared dead on arrival at Akash Hospital. Their father Yash Yadav, 35, who was reportedly engaged in the flex board business, also jumped in a desperate attempt to save himself and was declared dead at IGI Hospital, said the police. Yadav's wife and elder son survived the fire and were taken to IGI Hospital for medical attention. Authorities confirmed that all other residents of the society were safely evacuated. Power and piped natural gas (PNG) supply to the building have been cut off as a precaution. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have been notified to assess the structural stability of the building, said the police.
