Similar Incident Disrupts Traffic at Marine Drive
In a separate incident earlier this week, a fire was reported near the Coastal Road project at Marine Drive in south Mumbai on Wednesday, December 17. Preliminary information indicated that a cable running along the seafront caught fire, resulting in thick smoke in the area.
The smoke entered parts of the Coastal Road tunnel, leading to temporary traffic disruptions. As a precautionary measure, vehicular movement towards North Mumbai was briefly halted.
The Mumbai Fire Brigade rushed to the spot and successfully brought the fire under control. Personnel from the Marine Drive Police Station remained at the site to ensure public safety and smooth traffic flow.
Authorities have confirmed that no injuries were reported in either incident, and investigations are underway to determine the exact causes.
