The major fire that broke out at the City Centre mall at Nagpada last month, has had the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on its toes to ensure such a situation does not arise again. The local ward office has also written to the mall owners and occupiers, saying the building must be repaired and only if the structural audit is satisfactory will the BMC allow the opening of the mall."

The fire that had started on the second floor of the mall as a level one fire (small fire), had turned into a brigade call (where the entire fire-fighting team is roped in). The fire officials said that it was one of the longest fire-fighting operations in the city as it was put out after 56 long hours. While the primary cause is suspected to be a short circuit, it is still under investigation.
