Kamala Mills fire: Authorities start firefighting after Parel blaze chars 14

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.
