Mundka blaze: Death toll reach 27, 60 rescued

27 persons were killed and as many as 60 persons were rescued at Mundka in the national capital where a massive fire engulfed a building.

As per latest reports, the operation is still underway and 27 fire tenders are on the spot.

"The fire has been brought under control but the cooling process is still going on," a fire department official told IANS.

The fire first broke out on the first floor of the building which houses a CCTV and router manufacturing company.

There is a possibility that more bodies could be there on the second and third floor of the building.

The fire was so massive that even walls inside the building collapsed which made the rescue operation more difficult.
