Two people were charred to death and four wounded in a fire that broke out at an e-rickshaw charging station in east Delhi's Shahdara on Sunday morning, an officer said.

The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) said it received a call about the fire around 6.40 am from near Ram Mandir on Moti Ram Road in Shahdara. Five fire tenders were rushed to the spot.

The fire broke out in a tin shed structure built over an approximately 400 square yards, which was being used as a charging station for e-rickshaws.

"By 8.30 am, the fire was brought under control. During the operation, two charred bodies were recovered from the debris," DFS chief Atul Garg said.

The four injured were rescued and rushed to the GTB Hospital.

The identities of the dead, likely to be workers living in the shed, are yet to be ascertained.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
