A resident, Deepak Tyagi said, “…My flat was the first to catch fire. A firecracker hit my inverter. There is a man, Jitender, who lives a little far from here. He was bursting crackers below our building…Another man from my building, Rajiv was bursting crackers with him. RWA president Ashok Tyagi told them not to do it, but they fought with him. At the end, there was a fire here. It started in the inverter on balcony. I tried to douse the flames using a fire extinguisher but the flames were too massive for it. The fire spread to my entire house and then to the entire building. No casualties were reported though.”
