The BMC's Disaster Management Cell alerted various agencies to stock up on resources to control the aftermath of the blasts. Officials immediately informed all the government and private hospitals in the nearby locations to remain prepared for mass casualties.

"We have, first and foremost, alerted blood banks in hospitals to start functioning and have spread the message in all the 24 wards in the city. We have informed the BEST department to keep the services running for the public," said an official from the cell.
