Health department officials from the local L ward raided the premises of hotel City Kinara at Kurla West on Friday and shut down the illegal tea stall there. This came hours after mid-day's report on January 31 on the illegal structures on the premises of the hotel that saw eight people die in a blaze inside.

Speaking to mid-day, Advocate Godfrey Pimenta, who has been representing the parents of the seven students who died in a fire at the hotel in 2015, said, "Nicholas Almeida of Watch Dog Foundation and I visited the spot on Friday afternoon and to our surprise we saw that the ward officials had taken cognisance of the mid-day report and removed all the utensils from the tea stall. Even the shutter was locked. However, the paan shop is still running there."
