In the dense residential lanes of Kandivali, Mumbai, a cooking gas cylinder's failure has claimed six lives and injured seven more, with the final toll still uncertain as one survivor clings to stability. Two women — Janaki Gupta, 39, and Durga Gupta, 30 — died this week from burns that consumed most of their bodies, their deaths a quiet reminder that the ordinary infrastructure of daily life carries within it the capacity for sudden, irreversible harm. The tragedy asks not only what went wrong in one shop, but how many similar risks remain unnamed and unexamined across a city of millions.
