BMC Commissioner Ajoy Mehta

Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta suspends five civic officials and transfers Lower Parel's ward officer, and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis orders a detailed inquiry and a report within 15 days - it took 14 innocent lives for the authorities to do their job of keeping a check on establishments and irregularities. The flurry of action is following a major fire that broke out around 12.30 am on Friday at the Trade House building in Kamala Mills compound, killing 14 and injuring 14 others.
