A Fire Department official told IANS that they received a distress call around 9.30 a.m. "A total of 17 fire tenders were rushed to the spot. The dousing of flames is currently underway," he said.

Thick fumes of black smoke could be seen billowing out of the factory which is located near DD motors in an industrial area of west Delhi.
