No fewer than 43 people have died inside a factory building that caught fire in Delhi, India, overnight.

Local authorities say that the factory housed a toy manufacturing facility. Staff were sleeping inside the locked building when the fire broke out at around 5am local time.

Firefighting crews could not easily reach the building, as it was located deep inside a network of narrow streets and alleyways.

Fires are common in India, as many buildings routinely fail to adhere to fire safety regulations.
