Calls Renewed for Long-Delayed Fire Station in Andheri After Fatal Fire
The death of a liftman in a recent fire at Andheri West has renewed calls for a long-delayed fire station at Chitrakoot ground, Ambivli. Mumbai BJP president and MLA Ameet Satam urged the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to expedite the project, citing land disputes and illegal structures hindering progress. The proposed fire station, reserved since 1991, remains unbuilt despite development permissions. Currently, fire stations serving the area are distant, causing delayed emergency responses.
