Officials said the fire at the factory in Sector 2, DSIIDC Bawana, broke out at around 4.48 am. Seventeen fire tenders were immediately dispatched to the site. The situation escalated when a blast occurred subsequently inside the factory premises, causing the building to collapse. The firefighting teams continued cooling operations at the site for several hours.
