10 Auto Rickshaws Gutted In Blaze Under Ghatkopar Bridge

The offshore incident comes days after a separate fire in the city destroyed multiple vehicles in the eastern suburbs. At least 10 auto rickshaws were gutted in a blaze that erupted under a bridge at Chedda Nagar in Mumbai on Wednesday afternoon.

The fire, reported around 12:30 pm along the Eastern Express Highway in Ghatkopar East, is believed to have originated in a safety net before rapidly spreading to parked vehicles. Local residents alerted the Mumbai Fire Brigade, which responded promptly along with police teams.

Fire officials said that by the time crews arrived, some vehicles had already been moved by locals, but around 10 rickshaws were engulfed in flames. Fire engines stationed on the busy stretch led to traffic disruptions for nearly an hour as personnel worked to contain the blaze.

The fire was brought under control by approximately 1:34 pm. Authorities confirmed that no injuries or casualties were reported in the incident.
