Bangalore’s Mudpipe Cafe Caught Fire!
This afternoon, a large fire broke out in the Mudpipe Cafe located in the Koramangala area in Bangalore. One person who jumped from the building was hurt and taken to a nearby hospital by emergency vehicles. According to fire and rescue officials, they learned of the fire at 12:05 p.m. Eight vehicles have been put into service, including two water bowsers, five water tankers, and an aerial ladder platform (ALP).
According to a senior officer, the fourth-floor cafe of the four-story building was where the fire started. He further stated that a person inside the building jumped before they arrived, and the public hurried him to the hospital. The cafe was shut and the fire was followed by a blast. They needed to find out what triggered the explosion. The same structure housed a Nexa showroom and a Cult Fit gym. The entire top and second floors of the structure are now completely engulfed in flames.
Authorities believe that a short circuit caused the fire to start. It will, however, be too early to determine the cause, they claim. As soon as they arrived, the Suddaguntepalya police evacuated residents of nearby buildings. Further, an official claimed that the LPG gas cylinders were housed in the premises which raised suspicions about the explosion.

Earlier, in order to enforce a prohibition on hookah smoking in public areas, the government is now amending the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA), according to Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao. He made the announcement by saying that they were forbidding not hookah itself but rather using hookah in public places. It might be used at home without restriction.
Dinesh Gundu Rao has previously claimed that the government was enforcing a ban because many hookah bars serve as drug entry points.
