Make In India fire: report by next week, says fire chief

Make In India

The cause of the fire at a Make in India Week event will be known only next week as recording of statements of people linked to the expo and the organisers is taking time, a senior fire department official said on Sunday.

“Our investigation is heading in proper direction and by next week, we would be able to ascertain the exact cause of the fire,” Chief Fire officer PS Rahangdale said. He, however, declined to say exactly when the much-awaited probe report will be submitted.

“Currently, I am in the process of cross-examining officers and executives who were part of the event. I have found many missing links during the cross-examination, which I need to verify and corroborate before arriving at a definite conclusion,” Rahangdale said.

So far, seven to eight officials associated with the February 14 programme have been quizzed, and many more are in line for questioning, he said. “I wanted to wind up the investigation in two days, but the process of cross-examination is taking time,” he added.

A huge fire broke out on Sunday at Girgaum Chowpatty during the Maharashtra Night programme organised as part of the Make in India Week, which concluded on February 18.

The fire broke out below the stage, even as a troupe of dancers was performing. The powerful blaze caused the stage to collapse before it was brought under control by the fire brigade.

A day after the incident, a fire brigade official said all angles, including sabotage, will be investigated. No casualties were reported in the fire.
