Dharavi Fire Highlights Need for Redevelopment

A big fire happened in Dharavi, near Mahim Station in Mumbai.

It started because of a gas cylinder explosion in a cooking area.

The fire spread quickly because the area is very crowded with small shops and homes.

The smoke was so thick that the train services had to stop, and people had to walk on the tracks.

No one was hurt, but the fire showed how dangerous it is to have homes and shops so close to the train tracks.

The government is planning to fix this by making wider roads and creating safe spaces for people to go in case of emergencies.

They also want to build a big road and a green area to keep people safe from future fires and other dangers.
