The fire broke out on the fourth floor of the building, situated near the Income Tax Office, at around 2.20 p.m., a fire official told IANS.
Delhi Fire Services director G.C. Mishra told IANS, "It is a medium category fire. Keeping in view the safety of the number of buildings in the area we have sent 21 fire tenders to the spot to douse the flames."
