Summary:
New Delhi: Twenty two years ago on Friday, June 13, 1997, Uphaar Cinema, in Green Park area of Delhi, became the spot for the national capital's worst fire tragedy, killing 59 people. There was an oil leakage at the Uphaar site and the fire spilled over to the parking bay gutting 27 cars that were parked there. On Sunday, the fire broke out early in the morning, between 4.30 a.m.
and 5 a.m., at Delhi's Anaj Mandi area. It was meant to be just another relaxed Sunday for the labourers at Anaj Mandi, who were there in the factory, trapped. For those who were around in Delhi during 1997, it brought back a dash of old memories - of fire, people being trapped and dying..
