Gaffar Market Fire, Delhi: Puri Plaza Shop Blaze Draws 22 to 27 Fire Tenders; No Casualties Reported, Cause Under Examination

A shop fire was reported at Puri Plaza in Gaffar Market, Karol Bagh, early on 6 November 2026. Reports attributed to Delhi Fire Service agree on the place and approximate call time but differ on deployment: 22 units in the Economic Times update and 27 fire tenders in News On AIR's update. Water bowsers and lighting equipment were also reported. Later agency-based coverage said the fire was brought under control, property damage occurred and no casualties had been reported. The exact cause is not established. Battery overheating or overcharging has been described as a preliminary possibility only, pending fire-department, electrical-inspector and forensic examination.
