MUMBAI: A large portion of Dream Mall in suburban Bhandup in Mumbai was gutted in a major fire that raged for nearly nine hours before it was doused, a civic official said on Saturday.

No casualties were reported in the incident, he said.

The blaze erupted around 8 pm on Friday.

It was described by fire brigade officers as 'level 3' (major) fire and later upgraded to 'level 4', he said.
