Mumbai: A major fire broke out in a cluster of godowns in Navi Mumbai's Thakur Pada in the Dahisar area in the early hours of Saturday. Though no one was injured in the incident, a civic official said.
The blaze, which started at 1:30 am, gutted 25 to 30 godowns in Thakurpada near Irani Masjid, said Yasin Tadvi, chief of Thane Municipal Corporation's disaster management cell, according to news agency PTI.
