The midnight blaze in a pub in Mumbai’s Kamala Mills which led to the death of 14 people and left 54 others injured has called for swift action by Mumbai's municipal authorities.

Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered an inquiry into the incident, while five municipal officials were suspended as it emerged that the restaurant-pub One Above at the Trade House Building in the tony Kamala Mills Compound had been served notices in the past by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) for alleged violations and even prosecuted for unauthorised construction and alterations.
