As someone who works in Delhi, it's scary how frequent fires are becoming. Chawri Bazar on Monday and now RBI? We need better fire safety protocols in every building, not just after some incident.

Quick response by fire department - 5 tenders in 15 minutes! That's commendable. But we must ask why solar panels are catching fire in 2024? Are they using substandard equipment? 😠

Impressed with the fire fighters - they controlled it in 15 minutes during peak afternoon heat. But this is the second fire in Delhi in two days. Government should do a thorough safety audit of all important buildings.

Acchi baat hai ki koi haani nahi hui (Good thing no one was hurt). But fires in important govt buildings keep happening - last year Parliament, now RBI. Hope they start taking fire safety seriously otherwise we will blame everyone later.

Glad firefighters acted fast. But honestly, fires from solar panels? That's a new worry. With Delhi's summer temperatures rising, we need better quality solar equipment and regular inspections. Stay safe, everyone! 🙏
