Mumbai: Fire Brigades Reach Locations Late Due To Traffic Jams Across City Streets

Mumbai, 19th February 2023: The fire brigade managed to douse the fire that broke out in an office at Raghuvanshi Mill in Lower Parel late Friday evening. Due to heavy traffic jams in Worli, the fleet of vehicles could not reach the spot in time. It was clear that the relief work was delayed.

The fire broke out on the third floor of a building in the Raghuvanshi Mill Complex on Senapati Bapat Marg. After getting the information about this, fire brigade vehicles left for the spot. But due to traffic jams, these vehicles were delayed by 15 to 20 minutes to reach the spot. Meanwhile, the fire appeared to have spread widely due to the glass windows of these buildings. Therefore, the fire brigade declared that the fire was level three. The issue of unauthorized construction has come to the fore as fire incidents are happening in the Raghuvanshi Mill area every few months.
