MBMC felicitates 54 firemen for controlling LPG cylinder blaze

The BJP-led ruling governance led by deputy mayorHasmukh Gehlot felicitated 54 firemen attached to the fire and emergency services wing in the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) in appreciation of their efforts in controlling a massive blaze which had broken out in the LPG-cylinder laden trucks which were parked in an open ground amidst a cluster of residential buildings in the Ram Nagar area of Mira Road during the wee hours on February 8.

The felicitation ceremony was held at the deputy mayor’s cabin in the main administrative building of MBMC in Bhayandar on Monday in the presence of Chief Fire Officer- Dr. Prakash Borade.

Deafening explosions awoke residents after seven cylinders went up in flames, as many of them crashed as far as 500 meters away from the accident site. Both the trucks loaded with LPG cylinders were reduced to a heap of mangled remains due to the massive fire coupled by multiple explosions.

Asset quality stress in the banking sector is inching lower with collection efficiencies returning to pre-pandemic levels in the quarter ended December for most lenders, ICICI Securities said in a note. The brokerage observed the invocation of restructuring by banks within the guided range, contained credit cost, robust deposit accretion, sharp decline in deposit cost, and provision of liquidity buffer to offset any adverse impact of interest income reversal have improved the growth prospects of the lenders.
