New Delhi:
A huge fire broke out in Old Delhi's Bhagirath Palace market this evening. Reports say 12 fire engines are trying to bring the situation under control at the market known as the hub of wholesale electrical goods.
The fire department said local contacted them at 9.20 pm about the incident, after which they rushed in the fire engines.
