An inquiry into the Kamala Mills Fire of 2017, on Thursday, charged three more civic employees as guilty, after nine officials were held guilty earlier in November 2018. Assistant Municipal Commissioners of G South ward, Bhagyashree Kapse and Prashant Sapkale, have been held accountable for poor supervision in their ward, along with medical officer of health (MOH), G South ward, who was suspended after the incident.

A fire had erupted in the Kamala Mills compound on December 29, 2017, destroying two restaurants, killing 14 and injuring several others. While the serious charges on Kapse and Sapkale — not checking unauthorised construction and approving licenses without verification — have been dropped in the report drafted by Additional Municipal Commissioner Vijay Singhal conducting this inquiry, the MOH has been held guilty of such offences among various other charges.
