I work in a PR firm which is adjacent to the building where the fire broke out and am anguished and saddened by the incident. A frequent visitor to those restaurants and pubs, I have seen a lot of public pouring due to the holiday season. Allegedly, the fire triggered because of burning the coal served for hukka, but I do believe this could be true as I have seen it myself. The fire alarms were not in place. It’s unfortunate that incidents like these shaken and awaken the system. Strict punitive action should be taken against the guilty. However, I urge all political parties to stop the blame game and rather find a robust way to strengthen fire safety and security system in our city. We cannot lose more lives due to the negligence of the administration. My condolences to the bereaved families who have lost their dear ones and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.
DR SULABHA ARORA The #KamalaMills fire started at 1 Above. I was there and barely made it out alive. Some were not so lucky. Praying for the injured and the deceased. It was the scariest thing I have ever survived! The fire started and before we knew it the whole place was engulfed in a matter of seconds: (It was under 15 seconds or so! No one knew where the fire exits were.
BHAVIN: One of the guys met me at my sisters wedding just two days ago and he’s no more today. #KamlaMillsFire. Their parents left for Bombay last night they’re on a plane and they have no idea what has happened.
