PMC Orders Crackdown on Illegal Study Rooms

The Pune Municipal Corporation has ordered a crackdown on illegal study rooms in the city.

These study rooms are often overcrowded and lack proper safety measures like fire protection.

The PMC will take action against illegal study rooms set up in parking lots and terraces.

They will also survey unauthorized students and paying guests.

The construction department has been given seven days to start taking action.

A joint meeting with police officers is planned in the next 10-15 days to discuss further steps.

The PMC will also prepare regulations regarding students and paying guests.

The issue of safety came to light after a fire incident in a study hall in Navi Peth.

The PMC will also take action against illegal hawkers operating near the study rooms at night.
