Two popular South Mumbai clubs, Bombay Gymkhana and Cricket Club of India (CCI), have run into trouble with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) once again. This time, with the Fire Brigade, due to fire safety violations. During a recent inspection by fire officials, health officials, and A ward officers, violations were found at both the clubs. Three LPG cylinders and seven with compressed carbon dioxide were seized from Bombay Gymkhana, while 42 LPG cylinders and one of refrigeration gas were seized from CCI.

Officials from A ward said that the kitchen of the staff canteen at Bombay Gymkhana was operating without an eating house licence. "Only their main kitchen has the eating house licence. A few years ago, they had applied for the licence for the staff kitchen. However, since they didn't meet the norms, the licence was not given to them," said Kiran Dighavkar, assistant municipal commissioner of A ward.
