Mumbai, Nov. 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) In a Dhanteras tragedy, a 95-year old woman was killed in a major fire that engulfed a flat in suburban Mumbai late in Friday, the BMC Disaster Control said.
The blaze was reported from Flat No 201 on the second floor of the 12-storied Vile Grand Residency in Vile Parle East suburb around 8 pm.
