A wada pav stall was gutted in fire following a kerosene stove blast near Samarth Plaza in Mulund West on Monday evening.
The incident took place around 7 pm at a wada pav stall located at RRT Road, next to Samarth Plaza near Mulund railway station in Mulund West.
According to officials, the vendor was using a kerosene stove in the stall, which exploded and the fire quickly spread to the entire structure.

After local police alerted the fire department, officials arrived on the spot and doused the flames in a few minutes.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the mishap.
