On Sunday morning, 32-year-old Firoz Khan woke up to flames engulfing the room where he was sleeping along with his fellow workers in a building in Anaj Mandi.
Khan, who is among the survivors of the deadly blaze which killed 43 persons, said he was sleeping near the door and managed to escape along with few others after alerting the inmates about the fire.
Khan worked at a cap manufacturing unit on the third floor. Recalling the ordeal, he said, "When I woke up, I saw flames in the room in which we were sleeping.
"The door was around six metres away from me. I alerted the other workers sleeping near me and four or five of us rushed out through the door."
