‘People lack civic sense’: Daisy Shah slams election campaigners after fire breaks out near her Mumbai flat

MUMBAI: A fire broke out in a house in Mumbai’s Bandra East area, allegedly during an election campaign, prompting actor Daisy Shah to express outrage over the incident.

The fire occurred at night while Shah was walking her dogs near her residence.

Sharing a video from the scene on Instagram, Shah criticised the campaigners for their recklessness, saying:


"I have got nothing to do with any political party!!! But when u hire teams to run campaigns for your elections please make sure they have some common sense in them. Thank fully our building committee refused their entry to go door to door. Bursting crackers next to the buildings is not the way to go about it. This is what happens when people lack civic sense. It ain’t a natural calamity it’s caused by brainless people. TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY … ITS HIGH TIME."

She added that her building committee had previously denied campaigners permission to go door to door, a decision she now considers justified.


Shah condemned the use of fireworks near residential buildings, calling it a dangerous example of careless behaviour that put lives at risk.
