Eleven people were killed in a fire that ripped through a paint factory in India’s capital, an official said yesterday, with rescue teams still searching for survivors.

The fire broke out on New Delhi’s northern outskirts late Thursday, fire services director Atul Garg said.

“There was a blast in the paint factory and the building collapsed. The victims were labourers in the factory,” Garg said.

“The impact was such that the fire spread to a house and a drug rehabilitation centre nearby.
