A massive fire broke out at the Enforcement Directorate's (ED) office building at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai during the early hours of Sunday. Firefighting operations have continued for over six hours, according to officials.

The fire, reported at approximately 2.31 am at the Kaiser-I-Hind building, involved a fire that was initially confined to wooden furniture and office materials located on the fourth floor of the building. The structure, a basement-plus-ground-plus-upper-four-floors building with an attic, faced significant challenges due to smoke logging on the fourth floor. Firefighters struggled to access certain areas because of obstructing furniture stock that was kept in common passages and balconies.
