A massive fire broke out at the GST Bhavan in Mazgaon on Monday morning. While no one was injured, the ongoing repairing work and partially functional fire fighting system have raised questions on the fire safety at government-owned offices.

According to fire officials, there were around 2,500 employees present in the building when the fire started on the ninth floor of the 10-storey government-owned building at around 12.30 pm. The Fire Department took around three hours to bring the blaze under control for which eight fire engines were deployed.
