Navi Mumbai Police Investigate Suspected Arson After Market Stalls Gutted
Imagine a market where people with disabilities had small shops to sell their goods.
Sadly, early on a Monday morning, a fire started in one of these shops.
The fire spread very quickly and destroyed nine of these special shops.
Firefighters came and put out the fire.
The people who owned the shops believe someone intentionally started the fire.
Because of this, the police are looking for the person responsible and have started an investigation.
Nine stalls for differently abled vendors were destroyed in a fire at Janata Market, Turbhe, Navi Mumbai.
The fire reportedly broke out around 1:25 AM on Monday and spread rapidly to adjoining stalls.
The stalls were part of a Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) scheme to provide business spaces to differently abled individuals.
Firefighters successfully doused the flames, but the stalls and their contents were gutted.
