Delhi Police registered a first information report in connection with the landfill fire against unknown persons on Tuesday.

New Delhi: Over 30 hours after a major fire broke out at east Delhi’s Ghazipur landfill site -- Delhi’s biggest waste dump -- firefighters on Tuesday continued to put out the blaze even as they battled swampy stretches, a hostile terrain which their vehicles could not tread, challenge to reach the fire spots and thick, toxic smoke.

The Delhi Police have registered a first information report (FIR) in connection with the landfill fire against unknown persons on Tuesday. Deputy commissioner of police (east) Priyanaka Kashyap said that the FIR has been registered under Indian Penal Code’s Sections 278 (making atmosphere noxious to health), 285 (negligent conduct with respect to fire or combustible mat­ter), and 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) against unknown people.

“Once the blaze is controlled and the cooling operation is over, our investigation team will begin the probe to ascertain the exact cause of the fire. Investigators will record the statement of the private security guards who are deployed at the landfill. They will also scan the footage of cameras installed at the landfill. The objective is to find out what triggered the fire and check if any mischief was involved,” said a police officer, who did not want to be named. He added there were no deaths or injuries.

Two fire tenders with nearly 10 firemen and at least half a dozen earth movers remained at the dumping yard throughout the night. Although the blaze was brought under control at many places by Tuesday morning, the strong wind and presence of inflammable items in the garbage dump such as plastics and paper kept the fire going in sporadic places, said some firemen deployed at the spot.
