A massive fire erupted in Delhi’s Brahmaputra Apartments on Saturday (Oct 18). Several fire tenders rushed to the spot to put out the fire. The cause of the blaze is not known yet.

Trinamool Congress MP Saket Gokhale expressed concern at the incident and slammed Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of late response to the fire, claiming that there was no fire brigade at the spot for 30 minutes.
“HUGE FIRE at Brahmaputra Apartments at BD Marg in Delhi. All residents are Rajya Sabha MPs. The building is 200 meters from Parliament. NO FIRE BRIGADE SINCE 30 mins. The fire is still burning & RISING. Fire engines are missing despite repeated calls. Have some shame Delhi Government,” he wrote on X.
