Mumbai Fire Brigade Issues Notice Over Manual Fire System After Vile Parle Blaze
A fire at an 11th-floor apartment in Vile Parle, Mumbai, killed a two-year-old boy and his 23-year-old nanny. The Mumbai Fire Brigade found the building's fire-fighting system was kept in manual mode, reducing its effectiveness during the emergency. The cause of the fire remains under investigation, with family members yet to provide statements. The building society has been issued a notice to restore the system to automatic mode and address fire safety compliance within 15 days, or face prosecution.
