The blaze gutted stage and equipment at the gala on February 14

Minister Suresh Prabhu's assurances of paying Make in India vendors for their losses have fallen flat. Over two years have passed since their equipment was gutted in the blaze at a Make in India gala at Girgaum Chowpatty, causing damage worth lakhs. Prabhu, Union Minister for Commerce and Industries, had said that they would finally be compensated before the state embarked on its next big-ticket event - its first global investor summit Magnetic Maharashtra Convergence. This event too will be organised by Wizcraft, that was held responsible for the 2016 fire.
