Congress MLA Seeks Probe Into Fire Brigade Delay After Dongri Market Blaze
A fire broke out on November 8 in Mumbai's Dongri market, destroying around 500 small industrial units and shops, including 92 galas at Noor Baug. Firefighters battled the blaze overnight, extinguishing it by early morning. Congress MLA Amin Patel has called for an independent inquiry into an alleged 45-minute delay in the fire brigade's response, seeking the suspension of the Chief Fire Officer and compensation for affected businesses. Shopkeepers reported significant losses, with many salvaging what they could amid debris removal efforts.
