The fire that broke out in a three storeyed factory at Bawana industrial area in North of Delhi late evening around 6 pm yesterday, has taken its toll at 17 out of which 10 are women, while few other injured workers grapple for life in hospital.
13 out of 17 had died on the first floor of the factory, 3 on ground floor and one in basement. A mother of six and a young girl on her first day job are amongst the victims of the blaze.
The factory was licenced for plastic manufacture and storage, but it was illegally indulged for long in outlawed business manufacture and storage of hazardous firecrackers. A rubber factory at the second floor of the building has made it a real death trap.
