The fire crackers still don’t seem to stop in 5 Gardens even now post midnight. Literally bang opposite the 5 Gardens police chowky. Including rockets. Lots of them. Back to back. @MatungaPS@MumbaiPolice seems to be sleeping or ignoring. Shameful.
🚨 Bhatia Medical, Khar West, allegedly selling Diwali firecrackers outside its shop on the road opposite Kabutar Khana.
Requesting @mybmc@MumbaiPolice@mybmcHealth to urgently inspect and take action. This poses a potential fire and public safety risk.
#KharWest#PublicSafety
@mybmc in spite of ban on rockets and aireal fire crackers many people are still doing the same. Very near to santacruz west police station area. Any action expected ?? Check near by area @MumbaiPolice many cases of fire in mumbai in last 2 days
🚨 Fire Incident at Navjeevan, Santacruz West
A fire was reported at a shop in the Navjeevan area of Santacruz West. The situation is now under control, and the fire brigade team was present at the spot and responded promptly.
Appreciate the timely efforts of the fire brigade team. 🙏
Safety of citizens remains our priority. @ShelarAshish ji @BJP4Mumbai
We are not the only culture that lights firecrackers. The Irish, British, Chinese, Greeks, Japanese, Koreans, Vietnamese all light them too but have mostly found ways to reduce or totally remove the noise and pollution. Find a happy and safe middle ground and total bans can be avoided
And culture enjoyed.
Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde makes a public appeal in wake of fires caused in Mumbai due to firecrackers over last two days:
“Mumbaikars reason for celebration should not become someone else’s reason for sadness. Safety must be our priority. In view of the recent fire incidents caused by firecrackers over the past two days, I appeal to citizens to celebrate responsibly and ensure that their celebrations do not put others at risk.
In keeping with the High Court’s directions, firecrackers should not be burst on footpaths or in public places. People should also avoid bursting rockets and other aerial firecrackers, as these can stray into people’s homes and cause damage to property or endanger lives. Firecrackers must be burst away from residential buildings and other inhabited structures to prevent accidents, injuries and damage to property.”
Let us celebrate responsibly and ensure that our festivities do not come at the cost of someone else’s safety.”
A fire broke outside a bungalow on BJ Road, Bandstand, at around 10 pm on November 7, with large flames and thick smoke seen rising from within the premises.
The blaze was subsequently brought under control by firefighters.
Forty-six-year-old liftman Dhanpat Mahatu died of suffocation after getting trapped inside an elevator when a fire broke out in a 17th-floor flat at Andheri’s Runwal Elegante towers on Saturday night. Mahatu had worked at the 33-storey complex for nine years and was rushed to Cooper Hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
The blaze was reported at 9.50 pm and extinguished by 10.37 pm. The building was evacuated as a precaution, while residents said the fire brigade had to climb the stairs to reach the affected floor as its ladder could extend only up to the seventh or eighth floor.

Long before it became Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat, this grand Bandra mansion was known as Villa Vienna. The property was once associated with a prominent Parsi family before its royal connection with the Maharaja of Mandi.
@anupamapatnaik@AshwiniBhide@TawdeRitu They are habitual... around bandra we keep saying her illegal hoardings but what is even more surprising is did BMC allow to use its logo on illegal hoardings ???? Maybe @AshwiniBhide or @TawdeRitu can tell us... Since they both claim to keep standing up against illegal hoardings
Dear @AshwiniBhide have you authorised use of BMC logo on illegal hoardings all over khar bandra Santacruz or has the Mayor @TawdeRitu over stepped her position and allowed it???? All over bandra illegal hoardings made of Plastic and paper for clean up 🫠
#SuchAJoke
@BandraDataHub@AshwiniBhide@TawdeRitu This young lady doesn’t realise what she is standing for ! A green Diwali and we put flex everyday to say so?! Education is what is required here . For tree plantation drive, several flex’s . Does she care to understand where all that plastic is going and the frame work!
