[Mumbai]Brihanmumbai Municipal Corp Sets Up 34 Fire Compliance Cells
The Mumbai civic body has set up 34 cells to monitor fire compliance norms at commercial establishments and other buildings, and act against them if they violate safety rules, a senior official said today.
The setting up of the fire compliance cells by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) comes in the wake of the ghastly blaze at a pub in the Kamala Mills Compound last month that killed 14 people.
“Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta gave the direction for setting up fire compliance cells in the city to prevent incidents of fire at commercial establishments and act against them if they violate safety norms,”
Meanwhile, the BMC in a statement, said its team conducted inspection of 619 eateries and other establishments in the last two days and sealed three of them for violation of norms.
Besides, illegal constructions were demolished at 49 places and 369 establishments were asked to comply with the fire prevention and safety rules, the BMC said.
