Like all other cities, Mumbai too was gearing up for 2018. However, prior to the celebrations, the city witnessed a series of fire incidents which continued until the first week of January.
In the very first week of January, Mumbai witnessed seven fire incidents where five people lost their lives. Towards the end of 2017, the Kamala Mills fire incident was a shattering one because it took lives of people who were planning to welcome 2018. This loss was less when four of the same family sustained 100 per cent burns in their residence at Andheri’s Marol area.
