Fire at Foo Restaurant in Mumbai's Bandra Mall Extinguished Without Injuries

The blaze, reported at 6:02 am, was declared a Level-II fire call and was extinguished after nearly three hours, with no injuries reported. Firefighters faced challenges due to heavy smoke and flames. The mall's fire safety systems were operational, and an investigation into the cause, possibly linked to welding work, is ongoing.
