Faulty electrical systems sparked the recent fires at Currey Road’s One Avighna Park and the Vishwas building in Ghatkopar, said officials from the Mumbai Fire Brigade. The findings come at a time when the state government is yet to green-light efforts to make electrical audits mandatory for buildings with four storeys or more. 

On December 15, a fire broke out at the 61-storey One Avighna Park, the second such mishap in 14 months in the plush tower. The blaze gutted a flat on the 22nd floor in the B-wing. No one was injured in the incident.
