A fire broke out in the computer lab of Delhi University's Ram Lal Anand College on Monday, a Delhi Fire Services (DFS) official said.
The DFS received a call about the blaze at 11.40 am and four fire tenders were rushed to the college located in the South Campus. The fire was brought under control by 12.25 pm, he said.
No one was injured in the incident, the official said.
Rakesh Gupta, principal of the college, said the fire gutted the statistics computer lab.
"There were about 38-40 computers in the lab that were gutted in the fire. It was today that the lab was opened by a staffer for cleaning purpose. The fire was triggered due to short circuit in the air-conditioner," he said.
Gupta thanked the DFS for controlling the situation.
