PMC Warns Housing Societies After Fatal Pune Fire
A fire started in an apartment building in Pune, tragically killing a teenager and injuring others.
The fire, possibly caused by a short circuit, led to a cooking gas cylinder explosion.
Firefighters found the building's firefighting system non-functional.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is now ordering all housing societies to ensure their firefighting systems are working and will conduct fire audits.
The PMC will also check if societies have the necessary fire safety certificates.
A fire broke out in a 14-story building in Pune.
A 15-year-old boy died in the fire.
Eight people were injured, including two fire personnel.
The firefighting system in the building was not functioning.
PMC will take action against societies with faulty systems.
