MUMBAI: Mobile services provided by Airtel were disrupted on Friday in the commercial capital after a building, which housed the service provider's network tower, caught fire in central Mumbai.


The fire that broke out at the Peninsula Chambers owned by Tata Power Corporation was due to a short circuit in the power cables, fire officials said.

Eight fire engines and seven water tanks were pressed into service to put the fire under control, they said.

Several customers in many areas of Mumbai were affected after Airtel's service was snapped. The service will be restored soon, a statement issued by the company said.
