The fire at the studios of a private news channel claimed the lives of five people and left many injured. He also directed the quarters concerned to arrange medical facilities to the injured people in hospital.

The DCO monitored rescue and relief work at the fire scene and directed law-enforcement agencies to probe into the matter.
