At the same time, it has put a serious question mark over the functioning of scrapyards without any Standard Operating Process (SOPs) which can endanger the lives of citizens. As many as six such cylinder blast incidents leading to massive fire incidents were reported during the past year.

Following the incident, police commissioner Amitesh Kumar and PMC commissioner Dr Rajendra Bhosale asked for strict action against the illegalities and sought compliance reports from their senior officials looking into the illegalities.
