Fourteen people were killed and 55 injured when a fire sparked at 1Above and Mojo Bistro resto-bars in the third floor of a building in Kamala Mills compound, Mumbai couple of days ago.
Young girls and boys celebrating birthdays and reunions are killed by the fire. Had there been a proper exit for the building, fire extinguishers in place and infrastructure built without flouting norms, this accident would have been avoided.
What is stunning is that couple of security guards of a media firm and a constable braved the fire and rescued many. Especially 35-year-old Sudarshan Shinde, a constable with Mumbai Police, has risked his life to save nearly 8 girls stuck in a bathroom and almost fallen unconscious due to billowing smoke.
And now, a picture of him caught rescuing a girl is doing rounds everywhere which is making all speechless. Isn’t this the real most inspiring picture? Isn’t this the Pic Of The Year 2017?
Yes, it is. Standing in the tough times and risking one’s life for others is the real bravery and inspiring act. A film star making a six pack in his 50s and doing his own action stunts is nothing before this.
