43 killed as massive blaze sweeps through four-storey building in north Delhi

新德里北部4层大楼发生严重火灾，造成43人死亡

NEW DELHI: In one of the worst fire accidents in the city, 43 people were killed after a massive blaze ripped through a four-storey building housing illegal manufacturing units in north Delhi's Anaj Mandi area on Sunday morning, police and fire officials said.

新德里：印度警方和消防官员表示，周日早晨一场大火吞噬了德里北部阿纳杰曼迪地区一座四层建筑，造成43人死亡。这是新德里发生的最严重火灾事故之一。

Most of the people working in the units were fast asleep when the fire broke out in the second floor of the building in the early hours and 30 fire tenders were pressed into service, fire officials said. A preliminary probe suggested that short circuit triggered the blaze, they said.

消防官员称，凌晨时分大楼二楼起火，大部分工人在熟睡，30名消防队员紧急出动。初步调查显示，火灾是由短路引起的。

Nearly 150 fire personnel carried out the rescue operation and pulled out 63 people from the building. While 43 labourers died, many others were injured including two fire personnel, fire officials said. They said none of the units had a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from the fire department and the congested area made rescue operations difficult. Firemen had to cut window grills to access the building.

近150名消防员展开救援行动，从大楼中救出63人。消防官员称，43名工人死亡，还有多人受伤，包括两名消防人员。该大楼没有消防部门颁发的证书(NOC)，而且地方拥挤给救援行动带来了困难。消防队员不得不切断窗棂才能进入大楼。

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh each for the next of kin of those who lost their lives in the fire. The prime minister also approved Rs 50,000 each for those seriously injured in the fire, his office said. The amount will be paid from the Prime Minister National Relief Fund, the PMO said in a tweet.

莫迪总理宣布向每位火灾遇难者的家属发放20万卢比的抚恤金。总理办公室表示，总理还批准为每位火灾重伤者发放5万卢比。总理办公室在推特上表示，这笔钱将由总理国家救助基金支付。

The Delhi government ordered a probe into the incident and sought a detailed report within seven days. An ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh each has been announced for the next of kin of those killed and Rs 1 lakh for those injured. North Delhi Mayor Avtar Singh said he has asked the municipal commissioner to form a team which will visit the site and probe the cause of fire. Police said they have registered a case against the property owner. Chaotic scenes were witnessed at the site of the fire accident which was clogged with bystanders and politicians arriving in convoys.

德里政府下令对该事件展开调查，并要求在7天内提交详细报告，并宣布向每位死者的近亲发放100万卢比抚恤金，向每位伤者发放10万卢比。北德里市长辛格称，他已经要求市政专员成立一个小组，前往现场调查起火原因。警方表示，他们已经对业主立案。火灾现场出现了混乱的场面，现场挤满了围观群众和车队护送来的政客。

Sad accident. All offer money to gain popularity. In fact money never reaches to victims.

Many old shop areas in Delhi area are prone for fire hazards. Examples: underground shop centre near connaught circle; the huge electrcal shop area (near Chandini Chowk?)where the fire trucks can’t access the buildings because the streets were narrow and the people cant get out of the buildings in case of fire

德里地区的许多老商业区容易发生火灾。消防车无法进入大楼，因为街道狭窄，一旦发生火灾，人们无法离开大楼

It is said that the cost of life of a human being in India is only 2 lakh which is 3000 dollars. India is run by idiots and old people.
