The incident comes nearly a week after nine people, including three children, were killed in a fire at a cloth warehouse in northwest Delhi.
Last month, 43 people were killed when they were trapped in a massive blaze at an illegal bag-and-paper factory near central Delhi. The fire at Anaj Mandi was the second-worst in the national capital after the Uphaar Cinema tragedy that left 59 dead and injured more than 100 people.
