New Delhi: A fire broke out in a tent at Delhi's Singhu border where farmers have been protesting the Centre's three agri laws, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha claimed on Saturday.
Sukhwinder Singh, a protester, said the incident took place around 10 am near an under-construction flyover where the tent was put up.
However, there was no official word about the incident from the police or the fire department.
The tent was completely burnt, the Morcha, which is heading the agitation, said.
A man was also injured while trying to extinguish the blaze. The tent was burnt after a cylinder caught fire, the SKM claimed.
There were around 10 to 12 people inside the tent when the blaze broke out. Five mobile phones, twenty mattresses, 20 chairs and dry ration were destroyed, it said, adding that a fire tender from Kundali doused the fire.
