Delhi Fire Service Denies Fire Safety Certificates to Several Institutions
Imagine buildings need a special pass called a fire safety certificate to make sure they are safe from fires.
The Delhi Fire Service checked some places like a hospital, a building called Haryana Bhawan, and a school.
They found problems, like broken fire alarms and blocked roads, so they didn't give these places the certificates.
This means these buildings need to fix the problems to be considered safe from fire.
The fire department checks these places to make sure they are following the rules to keep everyone safe.
Delhi Fire Service (DFS) denied fire safety certificates to Lal Bahadur Shastri Hospital, Haryana Bhawan, and Indraprastha International School.
The DFS cited non-compliance with fire safety norms as the reason for withholding the certificates.
Inspections revealed multiple deficiencies, including non-functional fire safety systems.
Haryana Bhawan's FSC renewal was denied due to several shortcomings identified during a site inspection.
Indraprastha International School was found with issues such as encroached roads and non-functional safety systems.
