NEW DELHI: Two firemen who rescued 27 people were hailed as heroes Monday after Delhi's deadliest fire in decades killed 43, prompting outrage that safety regulations were yet again ignored.
Ashish Malik, who managed to carry out 16 people from the blazing building, said firefighters"had to take huge risks" carrying people down the only staircase on a rickety floor. "If all these departments had done their job properly then many valuable lives could have been saved," he said. One of the units manufactured wall mirrors, one was involved in the stitching of schoolbags and another stitched skull caps, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
