Six fire engines were immediately rushed to the spot to douse the fire. It took them almost an hour to douse the flames
Several Police officials had also reached the spot.
According to the sources, a dome was under construction in a section of the park and iron girders were being welded next to some thermocol boxes, sparking the blaze.
“The sparks from the welding came in contact with the boxes, which ignited instantly.
All the 24 labourers working in the area escaped unhurt in the incident, sources added.
Earlier, in a relief to Mayawati government, the Supreme Court in December 2010, gave a go ahead to the construction of the park.
The Apex court gave the permission with the condition that permanent structure will not exceed 25% of the total area.
The court also appointed a 3-member committee to oversee the construction work at the site to ensure that the guidelines are being followed.
