Mumbai: A fire reportedly broke out in garbage accumulated below a bridge near Laxmi Industrial Estate in Andheri, raising concerns over illegal dumping and fire safety in the area.
According to visuals shared by AndheriLOCA, the fire was seen burning through junk and waste material that had gathered below the bridge. The spot appears to be a nullah, where garbage had allegedly accumulated over time.
The visuals show thick smoke rising from the burning waste and spreading across the area, filling the air with smog. The incident has once again brought attention to the issue of garbage dumping below bridges and near nullahs, which can pose serious safety and environmental risks.
Police personnel were also seen at the spot, inspecting the area after the incident came to light. However, there is no official information yet on what exactly caused the fire or whether it was accidental or deliberately lit.
The incident has raised questions over how waste was allowed to accumulate below the bridge in the first place. The visuals suggest that the area may have been used as a dumping ground, creating conditions where such a fire could break out.
