Mumbai Kamala Mills Fire, 14 people Killed

Mumbai, December 29: A massive fire on the top floor of a building at Kamala Mills compound in Mumbai's Lower Parel area left 14 people dead on Thursday night.

The fire broke out shortly after midnight on the third floor of the four-storeyed building on Senapati Bapat Marg, the commercial hub of Mumbai.

Terming the incident as disturbing, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis called for an "in-depth enquiry" into the incident.

The massive fire quickly engulfed the entire building after it started at a rooftop restaurant and raged for several hours before it could be brought under control.

According to eyewitness accounts, in the ensuing chaos after the fire broke out, several women entered the men’s washroom, which had no ventilation outlet.
