Mumbai Apr 29 (UNI) NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique on Tuesday alleged that the fire department has failed to control the blaze on time that broke out at the Mumbai Croma showroom located in the Link Square Mall in Bandra.
A fire broke out early Tuesday morning at the Croma showroom, basement of Link Square Mall, was declared a Level-III fire, indicating a serious situation.
Speaking to the mediapersons, NCP leader Zeeshan Siddique said, "We have been here since 4 AM. The fire department has failed to control the fire... It could have easily been controlled initially, but the fire officers were ill-equipped. There was just a small spark in the basement of the Croma store, and it could have been easily controlled if action had been taken in time. However, the fire officers were not properly equipped, and even when they had the necessary equipment, they didn't use it correctly."
He also pointed out that there was no presence of fire brigade or police officials when he arrived.
We kept requesting them to supply more water, but nothing was done. Even when some parts of the store were still burning, they were unable to handle the situation, he added.
