New Delhi, Dec 27 A fire broke out at a polythene factory in the Keshav Puram industrial area of the national capital on Monday morning, a fire department official said.

The official informed that they received a call about the fire incident around 4.41 a.m. in a factory at Lawrence Road, Keshav Puram Industrial area, in northwest Delhi after which 11 fire tenders were immediately pressed into the service.

"Only the ground floor of a three-storey building had caught the fire," the official said, adding that the factory was built in an area of 150 sq metres.

The official confirmed that there were no casualties or injuries, however, there was certainly a loss of property. The cause of the fire is yet to be ascertained.
