I pray for the families who&rsquo;ve been injured and those who lost their lives in the tragic fire at Kamala Mills. Really unfortunate and sad. On the administrative side, investigation will happen, and the BMC will come down hard on the violations of fire safety norms.

Terrible to hear of the London Taxi fire &amp; the tragic loss of lives. With such a high density of restaurants &amp; offices at Kamala Mills &amp; the like, they're sitting ducks for disasters, without stringent safety measures &amp; enforcement

Urgent, overdue fire audit required at Kamala Mills before more fires claim still more lives. Most restaurants flagrantly flout safety norms .
