Massive Fire Guts 7-8 Shops At Virar's M-Venue Building In Global City, Short Circuit Suspected

Early Saturday morning, a massive fire ravaged multiple shops on the ground floor of the M-Venue building in Global City, Virar, around 5:00 AM. The blaze rapidly spread, engulfing seven to eight commercial establishments and resulting in significant material damage and financial losses. Firefighting crews from the Vasai-Virar City Municipal Corporation (VVCMC) arrived promptly to the scene and managed to extinguish the fire after a grueling two to two-and-a-half hours of intense efforts.

Due to the shops being closed during the early hours, the flames had free reign to spread, consuming goods and inventory within the premises. The fire department's preliminary estimates suggest a short circuit as the probable cause of the fire; however, the exact cause remains unconfirmed as investigations persist.
