Imagine being stuck in that tunnel! Good job by the fire department for quick action. Hope they investigate why it happened and plug any gaps in electric or fuel safety.
Coastal Road tunnel is such a modern marvel, but these incidents show our emergency preparedness must match its scale. No casualties is the real win here. 👌
Hope Mumbai Police and BMC use this as a wake-up call to improve tunnel safety protocols. Also, appreciate that no lives were lost – our jawans (firefighters) are always heroes! 🔥🚒
Honestly, this is scary. These tunnels are new but we need automated fire suppression systems, not just human response. Glad everyone is safe though. BMC, take note! ⚠️
As someone who uses the Coastal Road regularly, this is concerning but reassuring that the response was quick and no casualties. Infrastructure must go hand in hand with safety drills.
Really relieved to hear no one was hurt! 🙏 But I hope the authorities also release the cause soon – it's important for public awareness and future prevention. Kudos to the fire crew!
