Five killed and 2 injured in Mumbai high-rise fire

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Five people lost their lives after a major fire broke out in a high-rise residential building yesterday (Thursday, Dec 27) evening in Chembur, one of Mumbai‘s largest suburbs.

The fire erupted on the 11th floor of building number 35 in the B wing of Sargam Society. The housing society is near Ganesh Garden in Tilak Nagar.

The fire was reported at 7.45 pm and 15 firefighting vehicles rushed to the spot. The fire is now under control.

According to the disaster management cell, the fire was reported on the 10th floor of the 16-storey building and later spread to other floors. Prima facie fire brigade officials are suspecting short circuit as the cause of the fire. Officials said initially, the fire was minor but later it escalated to a Level 3 (major) fire as it spread.

Five senior residents of the building were taken to the hospital, but died on the way. Another elderly citizen has been admitted to a hospital due to suffocation. One fireman has also been admitted to the hospital. He is reportedly stable.

An LPG cylinder blast reportedly increased the severity of the fire. The firefighting equipment of the building was also reportedly non-functional. Also, double parking (by residents) on the road delayed fire brigade vehicles from reaching the spot.

The victims have been identified as Sunita Joshi, 72, Bhalchandra Joshi, 72 and Suman Shrinivas Joshi, 83, Sarala Suresh Gangar, 52 and Laxmiben Premji Gangar, 83.

Last week, a major fire broke out at a luxury showroom adjoining the 5-star Trident Hotel at Mumbai’s Nariman Point.

The exact cause of the fire is not known, a probe is being conducted to enquire off the incident.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Mamata Banerjee

The Congress on Monday claimed that West Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee want to save herself from raids by probe agencies and has thus struck a deal with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “defame” Rahul Gandhi and the grand-old party.

In a statement to news agency ANI, Congress MP Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury claimed that Mamata Banerjee was speaking on the directions of PM Modi as ‘didi’ and PM have made a deal “to defame the image of Rahul Gandhi and Congress.”

Chowdhury claimed that Banerjee wants to “save herself from ED-CBI raids” and is thus speaking against the Congress and Rahul Gandhi to make the Prime Minister happy.

The Congress leader was reacting to the West Bengal CM’s recent comments on Rahul Gandhi wherein she alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was portraying the Congress scion as a hero in their bid to divert attention from burning issues.

Addressing her Trinamool Congress (TMC) party workers during an internal meeting in the West Bengal’s Murshidabad district on Sunday, Banerjee accused the ruling BJP’s efforts to stall parliament proceedings in their demand for an apology from Rahul Gandhi, as an attempt to “make a hero” out of the Wayanad MP so that no one questions PM Modi.

Banerjee alleged that the BJP was trying to shift focus from current issues by stalling proceedings over Rahul Gandhi democracy remarks in the UK.

The second leg of the budget session—which began amid turmoil last week— has been marred by logjams as neither the ruling BJP, nor the Congress-led Opposition, are budging from their respective demands.

While the BJP are demanding an apology from Rahul Gandhi over his comments on the Indian democracy during a recent speech in London, the Opposition has intensified its push for a demand asking for a Joint Parliamentary Probe (JPC) into the Adani-Hindenburg report.
