Two dead, three hurt in Mumbai building fire

Two persons, including an eight-year-old boy, died while three others were injured after a huge blaze broke out in a flat of Veena Santur Cooperative Housing Society in Mumbai's Borivali on October 23. 

The fire erupted in a first-floor flat at around 12:30 p.m. and spread to the electric wiring and installations on that floor, according to officials.

Four fire engines and other vehicles of the fire brigade rushed to the spot, a civic official said.

Earlier this month, seven people had lost their lives and more than 40 were injured after a fire tore through a ground-plus-seven-storey residential building in Mumbai’s Goregaon area while 30 residents were rescued.
