Maharashtra Chif Minister Devendra Fadnavis has ordered a probe into the Deonar fire incident.

Additional Commissioner of Polcie Manoj Lohiya is set to head the enquiry team.

The fire at dumping ground, that broke pout on Friday, led Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation to shut down 74 schools run by it, as the smoke from the ground veiled the area causing breathing difficulties. 

Located in eastern Mumbai, the Deonar dumping ground is spread across 326 acres, with trash mountains as a high 30 metres, the equivalent of a nine-story building. It is the biggest of the citys three dumping grounds, and receives 5,500 metric tonnes of waste every day.
