MUMBAI: Two children were among four killed in a fire in Mumbai on Thursday, the third deadly blaze to hit India’s financial capital in just a few weeks. Five others have been admitted to a hospital,” a spokesman for Mumbai’s disaster management cell told AFP. It is the latest blaze to highlight concerns over fire safety in Mumbai, where millions live in cramped dilapidated properties. On December 29, 14 people were killed when a huge inferno tore through a popular upmarket bar and restaurant. That disaster came just over a week after a fire swept through a sweet shop, sparking a building collapse which killed 12 sleeping workers.
