Broken beams and rubble inside one of the restaurants

Two years ago, after a blaze at Hotel City Kinara in Kurla West claimed eight lives, including seven students, the BMC had launched a massive campaign to ensure that restaurants and eateries across the city abided by fire safety norms. Immediately after, in order to make restaurant owners more responsible, the fire department had urged Mumbaikars to avoid eateries that did not meet it's fire safety standards. If today's Kamala Mills blaze is anything to go by, little has changed since October 2016.
