New Delhi: A massive fire broke out in a slum cluster in South Delhi's JJ Colony area at around 12:30 pm gutting around 200 huts.
No casualties has been reported in the incident, a fire department official told ETV Bharat.
"We received a call about the fire at 12: 30 PM. As many as 15 fire tenders were rushed to the spot to douse the flames," the official said.
The reason behind the incident is yet to be ascertained, he said, adding that some plastic and wood kept in an open yard in the area could have fuelled the fire.
