On Monday evening, the Airport tunnel in Delhi was temporarily shut down after a fire broke out in an ambulance belonging to Gurugram Civil Hospital. The incident occurred at approximately 8:10 PM at the merging point with the Dwarka Expressway tunnel. The Delhi Police reported that the ambulance driver, Sunil, stated that the fire likely resulted from excessive engine heat while he was returning to the hospital after dropping off a patient. Fire services responded promptly, deploying three fire tenders to extinguish the fire and prevent its spread. Fortunately, there were no injuries or fatalities reported. Following the incident, traffic on the main Dwarka Expressway was restored, although the Airport tunnel remained closed for effective smoke extraction.
