KMC Halts Rooftop Sales to Enhance Fire Safety

The Kolkata city government (KMC) is stopping people from selling or registering the rooftops of buildings.

They asked the government's registration office to stop these sales.

This is because a rule says everyone should be able to easily get to the roof, especially in case of a fire.

The mayor agrees, saying rooftops are good places to escape fires.

This action follows some bad fires where people couldn't escape because the roof doors were locked.

The KMC is now cracking down on businesses that use rooftops, like restaurants.
