Meanwhile, fire-fighting operation in a building in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar that housed a coaching centre concluded on Thursday afternoon, with fire services officials saying that some of the scared students tried to escape through a window as the fire raged on.

Officials said 11 fire tenders were sent to the spot and all those trapped at the coaching centre were rescued from the building, ANI reported.

Visuals showed smoke coming out of the top floor of the building and students sliding down using a rope with bags on their backs.
