A fire broke out on Thursday afternoon in Behrampada area of Bandra East in Mumbai.
Preliminary reports said that smoke was billowing from the slums in the area. A fire official told DNA that the fire broke out during a demolition drive that was carried out by the BMC. "It was part of clearing encroachments along the Tansa pipeline following a Bombay High Court order," he said.
