Fire Breaks Out at Delhi Flats Housing MPs

New Delhi: A fire broke out on Saturday around 12:30 PM at Brahmaputra Apartments in the Gole Market area of Delhi, a residential complex for Members of Parliament. Located just 200 meters from Parliament, the blaze started in the basement and quickly spread to the upper floors. Parts of the upper floors and a balcony were completely burned, and several vehicles parked nearby were damaged. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
Inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2020, Brahmaputra Apartments houses several Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs, including Kerala MPs Jose K. Mani, Jebi Metter, P.P. Sunir, and Harris Beeran. Authorities confirmed that the building was not heavily occupied at the time, and all residents present were safely evacuated. The fire is now under control, and no casualties have been reported. However, some residents have claimed that a few children were injured in the incident and taken to RML Hospital.
Reports indicate that the fire brigade arrived approximately 45 minutes after the blaze was reported. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
