A day after promising to continue its demolition drive in the Garib Nagar slums in Bandra East, where a massive fire gutted several homes on Thursday, the BMC has poured water on the drive. The blaze occurred when the civic body was razing shanties following a Bombay High Court order.

Several slum dwellers who lost their shanties in Thursday's fire were seen taking shelter on vacant land near the railway tracks. Pics/Satej Shinde
