A major fire, which broke out at Kurla LTT on Wednesday afternoon, is suspected to have originated from the under-construction pod hotel. The area was enveloped in thick smoke as local officials said the foam material brought in for the hotel also caught fire and later spread to the Jan Ahaar canteen at the station. Fire brigade officials said it took about two hours to extinguish the flames.
Divisional railway manager Rajneesh Goyal visited the spot and said they had initiated a probe into the incident and the exact cause of the fire was being investigated. A senior official said, “The contractor’s workforce was carrying out work on the pod hotels. Prima facie, it seems that the sparks from the welding work fell on the foam material which then led to the fire.”
