Major Fire on Mumbai's Linking Road, Nobody Trapped

Mumbai: A row of shops caught fire in Mumbai's Bandra today. The blaze reportedly began at a shoe store on Linking Road. Because leather and plastic items caught fire, the flames spread quickly, said fire safety officials.

The fire began before shops opened for business; nobody is reported trapped, said officials.

Ambulances were rushed to the location along with fire engines. At noon, sources said the fire was under control.

The city was lashed by heavy rain this morning.
