A report submitted yesterday by the committee set up to probe the Kalbadevi fire contains stinging observations against BMC departments and officials. The panel has noted that the assistant commissioner of C ward did not reach Gokul Niwas immediately on May 9 and that too many fire engines and too much equipment was sent to the spot, which actually hampered the process of fire fighting.

Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta has asked Assistant Municipal Commissioner Sanjay Deshmukh to implement the committee’s recommendations. File pic
