Imagine losing your loved ones in a matter of minutes. That's what happened to the families living in a residential building in Vivek Vihar, where a devastating fire broke out early Sunday morning. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta was among the first to express her condolences. She took to X to convey her heartfelt grief and pray for the speedy recovery of those injured in the tragedy.

The fire incident was particularly heartbreaking because it claimed the lives of nine people, including five members of a family residing on the second floor. The deceased were Arvind, Anita Jain, their son Nishant Jain, daughter-in-law Anchal Jain, and their one-and-a-half-year-old grandson, Master Akash Jain. From the first floor, Shikha Jain also succumbed to the incident. Another family on the third floor tragically lost their lives, including Nitin Jain, his wife Shailey Jain, and their son Samyak Jain.

The fire is believed to have started due to a short circuit in a building located in Block B of Vivek Vihar. It quickly spread across all four floors, resulting in the devastating loss of life. One person, Naveen Jain, is currently being treated at a nearby hospital for injuries sustained during the fire.

As rescue and relief efforts continue, authorities are investigating the exact cause of the fire. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has assured the families affected by the tragedy that they will receive all the necessary support and relief. Meanwhile, BJP MLA Sanjay Goyal has also expressed his condolences and stated that a thorough investigation will be conducted to determine the exact cause of the fire.

The community is coming together to support the families affected by this tragedy. It's a difficult time for everyone, and it's essential that we stand together to provide the necessary support and care to those in need.
