Mumbai: A fire broke out in a red BEST meter box on the footpath outside Amrit Hotel and near the Tequila Bar building due to a short circuit. The sudden smoke created panic in the entire area.

It is noteworthy that during heavy rains, the King’s Circle area often gets waterlogged up to 4–5 feet, which further increases the risk of short circuits and fires.
