India, July 17 -- Allegations regarding lapses and dangerous working conditions inside a four-storey building in Shahdara surfaced on Wednesday, a day after a massive fire broke out at the location that killed two men and severely injured others.

Families of the victims alleged that the employees used to work with various combustible substances in extremely small rooms, with no fire exits in the building. Police said allegations are being verified.

Police are also yet to identify the owners of the commercial units operating in the building, and the building owner himself.

At around 8.45pm on Tuesday, a series of small explosions followed by fire trapped at least 10 people inside the building in Old Govindpura area near Jagatpuri.
