Navi Mumbai: Fire breaks out near girl’s hostel on Dr DY Patil University campus
Updated: 2020–03–18
NAVI MUMBAI: A major fire broke out in the premises of Dr DY Patil University after a huge stock of thermocol materials kept in the open space at an under-construction site of the campus caught fire on Wednesday.
Nitin Yashwante, an administrative staff said, “After seeing huge cloud of black smoke with flames billowing out of the campus, we rushed to the spot and found that the fire was caused due to huge quantity of thermocol stock kept in the open space at the construction site. The Nerul fire brigade doused the fire within 10 minutes.”
However, there was panic in the campus as the fire that broke out was in the vicinity of the girl’s hostel building, which was immediately evacuated. Also, there was a traffic snarl since the motorists coming from Palm Beach road towards the university to reach the Sion-Panvel highway were slowing down to take a glimpse of the fire from a far away distance.
