Fire Breaks Out in Noida’s Sector-18, Another Incident Reported in Delhi’s Zakhira Area

Noida: A fire broke out at a building in Noida’s Sector-18 on Tuesday afternoon, causing panic among residents. Joint Commissioner of Police, Shiv Hari Meena, informed ANI that the fire occurred at Krishna Plaza in Sector-18. Upon receiving the alert, emergency teams, including fire services, quickly responded and extinguished the blaze within a few minutes.
