Firefighters dousing flames
Around 450 vehicles were gutted after a fire broke out at malkhana at Police Training School (PTS) in Delhi’s Wazirabad area, a police official said on Monday.
‘Malkhana’ is a place where the seized vehicles are kept.
The fire broke out at 4 am and five fire tenders were pressed into service, a DFS official said. The operation went for two hours and the blaze was controlled at 6 am, he said.
No one was injured in the incident but 200 four-wheelers and 250 two-wheelers kept at the ‘malkhana’ were completely gutted in the fire, another official said.
The ‘malkhana’ is spread over 500 square yards.
