of North Delhi Chandni Chowk The spark of a massive fire that broke out a day before (Thursday) in the wholesale market Bhagirath Palace in the area is still burning. It is being told that 150 shops were gutted in the fire. There has been a loss of 250 to 300 crores in the incident. This information has been given by Yogesh Singhal, Chairman of the Bullion and Jewelers Association. He also told that Kuncha Natwan cloth market and Gandhinagar cloth market caught fire a few days ago due to short circuit. Due to non-availability of fire tenders in narrow streets, the damage is more due to the spread of fire. The government is not paying attention to the demands of the traders. The government should immediately consider two measures to control the flames.
Yogesh Singhal has made two demands from the government. In which the first demand is that the government should allow boring by laying water lines in the narrow streets, so that efforts can be made to control the fire immediately by storing water. On the other hand, in the second demand, it was said that the electricity department should get the meter load checked and install each meter in a separate box. Also get MCV installed, which can prevent fire to a great extent.
