A major fire broke out in the Income Tax office at Churchgate in Mumbai. It is the headquarters of the IT. The fire, which started in the basement of this prime building, has now spread to the upper floors.
Five fire tenders have been rushed to the spot and the fire fighters have used a ladder to rescue to citizens and staff stuck inside the building.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that two workers present in the basement at the time of the fire have been rescued. Although the initial call was for a level 1 fire, authorities are making efforts to prevent property destruction, considering the office contains important IT files and is where senior officers work.
Further details are awaited.
