A Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) contractor's office in Noida was gutted in a major fire Saturday, officials said.

Electrical short circuit was said to have caused the fire, which erupted around 6 a.m., destroying some computers, stationary and some important documents in the Sector-37 site office of Gammon India, a DMRC contracting firm.

It took two hours for four fire tenders to control the blaze, A.B. Pandey of the fire service said.
