The fire was initially categorized as level-one but at about quarter to eleven o’clock, the fire spread to other parts of the complex, after which the fire was declared ‘Level-3’ and the fire brigade was trying to douse the blaze with the help of eight fire engines. This is the second incident of fire in the metropolis on Thursday. Earlier in the day, the fire broke out in a textile factory in Kurla West. It was extinguished after more than two hours.

There are a few buildings adjacent to the city center mall and the fire caused panic among all the residents. Residents of the buildings have fled the area as it is night time and there is a risk of fire. Upon receiving information about the fire, the fire brigade has rushed to the spot.
