A fire broke out in a residential area of Delhi after an e-rickshaw caught fire while being charged, leaving six people injured. The incident happened in the evening, causing panic among locals as flames quickly spread to nearby vehicles and parts of a nearby building. Residents tried to control the fire before emergency services arrived. Firefighters reached the spot shortly and managed to bring the situation under control. The injured, including two children, were taken to a nearby hospital and are currently in stable condition.
Initial reports suggest the fire may have been caused by overheating or a short circuit during the charging process.

Authorities are now investigating the exact cause and are urging the public to follow safety guidelines while charging e-rickshaws, especially in densely populated areas.
