The workers of a society in south Mumbai’s Peddar Road, along with the security guard, averted a major disaster.

At 6.10 am on Monday, a fire broke out in a famous tailor shop, Libas, located on the ground floor of the Sukh Shanti building. However, thanks to the quick response by the workers and the security guard of the society, the blaze was brought under control before it could spread beyond the shop.
