Noida: Massive fire at Atta Market, people break office and showroom windows to escape


<p>A devastating fire broke out on Tuesday in Krishna Plaza shopping complex, located in Sector 18, Atta Market, Noida, a city in the National Capital Region (NCR) adjacent to Delhi. The fire, which started suddenly in the afternoon, caused widespread panic. People were seen jumping from windows and balconies to escape the blaze. Approximately 50 individuals trapped inside the building were rescued by the fire brigade, averting a potentially larger tragedy. Krishna Plaza houses numerous offices and showrooms, many of which were open at the time of the incident. The cause of the fire is yet to be officially determined, although the fire brigade suspects a short circuit.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noida Sector 20 Police Station Incident</h2>



<p>The incident occurred in the Sector 20 area of Noida. Atta Market is one of the busiest areas in Noida. The fire was first spotted near the stairs on the ground floor and rapidly spread to the upper floors. While those on the ground floor managed to escape, dozens on the upper floors were trapped by the fire and smoke. Several fire engines arrived swiftly and commenced rescue operations.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Panic Erupts in Shopping Complex Following Major Fire</h2>



<p>The massive fire at Krishna Plaza in Atta Market, Noida Sector 18, caused widespread terror. The fire quickly engulfed the entire complex. The thick smoke created a suffocating atmosphere, causing respiratory distress for many. People broke windows of showrooms and offices to escape, offering some relief but the situation remained extremely dangerous. Some individuals jumped from the building, resulting in three serious injuries. The injured were immediately hospitalised.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fire Brigade Rescues 50 People</h2>



<p>The fire brigade arrived promptly and began firefighting operations. Firefighters also broke windows to provide fresh air to those trapped inside and prevent suffocation. Using ladders and hydraulic equipment, approximately 50 people were safely rescued. Ambulances and police were also deployed. Several individuals were hospitalised as a precaution. The cause of the fire remains unclear, but a short circuit is suspected.</p>

<p>Newly elected Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has initiated a new scheme to provide clean drinking water to the capital&#8217;s residents at affordable rates. Under this scheme, five thousand water ATMs will be installed across Delhi to provide clean drinking water to the general public. The scheme will be implemented under a Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) model. Separately, the Delhi Jal Board has increased infrastructure charges for water and sewer connections, effective from April 1st.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus on Crowded Markets in the First Phase</h2>



<p>In the first phase, these water ATMs will be installed in major commercial hubs, markets, and crowded areas of Delhi. Subsequently, ATMs will be installed in areas lacking piped water infrastructure. This will reduce reliance on water tankers in these areas and provide clean drinking water for daily needs. Delhi&#8217;s Water Minister Pravesh Verma stated, “The government will not only provide water through water ATMs, but is also exploring the possibility of incorporating a plastic bottle return facility in these machines. This will allow used bottles to be recycled and reused, thereby reducing plastic pollution.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Local Participation Crucial in Water ATM System</h2>



<p>The government&#8217;s plan will also ensure the participation of local market associations and RWAs (Resident Welfare Associations). This will ensure the security of the water ATMs and curb vandalism. However, the rates for obtaining water from the ATMs are yet to be finalised.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Delhi Jal Board Increases Infrastructure Charges</h2>



<p>In another significant development, the Delhi Jal Board has increased infrastructure charges for water and sewer connections. These rates came into effect on April 1st. Previously, the charge for a water connection in residential areas was ₹243.11, which the BJP government has increased to ₹255.27 per square foot. Similarly, the sewer connection charge has increased from ₹145.87 to ₹153.16 per square foot.</p>



<p>BJP leaders say that this government scheme will not only provide Delhi residents with access to clean water but will also be a positive step towards environmental protection and reducing plastic waste. If implemented with proper monitoring and maintenance, this scheme could bring about a significant change in Delhi&#8217;s water management.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scheme Initiated Under Previous Government as Well</h2>



<p>This is not the first time such a decision has been taken in the national capital. Previously, the Aam Aadmi Party government had also initiated work on this. In July 2024, the AAP government launched the scheme with four water ATMs, all installed in slum areas to provide clean drinking water.</p>



<p>The then-AAP government had announced plans to install 500 water ATMs under this scheme, but only four were installed. 2500 smart cards were also distributed to access water from these four ATMs. Smart card holders could access a maximum of 20 litres of water per day. Now, the BJP government has started work on a plan to install water ATMs on a larger scale.</p>
