A large crowd gathered outside the banquet hall as firefighters battled the inferno, which produced thick smoke and consumed the fabric draped over the metal structure.
This incident follows another fire on Monday at a restaurant in West Delhi’s Rajouri Garden area.
In response, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Tuesday directed the Fire Department to conduct an audit of all restaurants in the city and take action against establishments found operating without fire licenses.
