The following afternoon, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis examined the premises and hours later, Mehta ordered the suspension of five civic officials and the transfer of one. Over 10 days earlier, on December 18, a fire no less deadly had swept through Bhanu Farsan Shop, a savouries unit on Saki Naka’s Khairani Road, about 23 km from Kamala Mills. In a tweet, Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam questioned why no action was taken against civic officials. Thursday’s Kamala Mills blaze has forced civic officials in L-ward, like in all 24 wards of Mumbai, to take to the field. Arjun Gupta’s brother Ram Naresh worked in Bhanu Farsan and died in the blaze.
