Car burns down on Delhi Shankar Vihar flyover
All occupants of the vehicle escaped the fire on the Shankar Vihar flyover without sustaining any injuries.
A car was completely destroyed by fire on the Shankar Vihar flyover in Delhi, according to reports by ANI and The News Mill. The occupants of the vehicle managed to exit the car before it was consumed by the flames.
Saurabh Jain, the driver of the vehicle, said he and his companions were travelling back from a pilgrimage to Balaji, Salasar, and Khatu-ji when they saw smoke. Jain stated that the car belonged to a friend and had been borrowed for the trip.
Jain said that the group pulled the vehicle to the side of the road after noticing smoke, at which point the car ignited. He noted that they moved away quickly and did not suffer any personal harm.
In an earlier incident in November, a fire broke out in a basement in the Khidki Extension area of Malviya Nagar in South Delhi. Fire Officer Kamlesh said that the Delhi Fire Services sent three fire engines to the scene and rescued 10 to 11 people trapped in the building.
The Malviya Nagar fire reportedly started in a car parked in the basement and was extinguished within 20 minutes. Officials said the blaze was controlled before it could reach the residential floors, though the cause remains under investigation.
