    The injured were taken to the hospital and are stable, according to the police.

    There were two fatalities. We are establishing who they are. In the factory, the victims were at work. The fire was put out by the fire departments. However, the factory's use of plastic and rubber leaves smoke behind, according to Devesh Kumar Mahla, DCP (Outer North).
