The fire in the Garib Nagar demolition debris dumped on marsh railway land was active again on Monday, after firefighters tackled a blaze at the spot on Sunday evening.

According to locals and Western Railway (WR) officials, firefighters have attended multiple emergency calls at the spot over the past week. However, the fire restarts every day, possibly due to heat trapped in the debris paired with wind, causing flammable materials in the debris, such as wood, plastic, and clothes to fume.
