Shut for two weeks due to non-compliance of fire rules, Andheri's Bombay Cambridge School is expected to be open for classes this week. Following instructions by the Fire Department, the school administration has made all required changes in the structure of the building and a letter requesting permission to open was sent on Friday.

The Mumbai fire department conducted checks at city schools following the fire at a Surat coaching centre, which left 22 persons dead. "It is better to take preventive measures, especially in case of heavily populated and congested city like Mumbai," said a fire department official, on condition of anonymity, while speaking to mid-day earlier this month. An inspection by the fire department showed the school did not have fire safety equipment on its premises, after which the BMC disconnected power and water supply to the school.
