70% hotels flout fire norms
Delhi fire dept has suspended the licence of 105 hotels of Delhi. They inspected 145 hotels and found that rules were not being followed in 105 hotels which means 70% of Delhi hotels are flouting rules. The number has only got to be higher for smaller cities.
People of different cities should raise this issue in their local circles and then after getting support from more like minded people call the fire department and have them conduct a drive. more

Lessons learnt from this incident are (1) Every individuals must change for good and should be unselfish when it comes to common cause and sincere/honest too. (2) Government personnel granting permissions must follow the rules and regulations in true letter of spirits and corrupt free. They should not deviate from these norms even an micro millimeter reckoning the human lives. (3) There should be single window clearance involving various parameters so that people need not run around and waste time and energy. Thus delay is avoided in commissioning/executing the projects. (4) After all these are devices which need regular maintenance which must be done without fail and constantly upgrade with the advancement of technology. (5) Checking squads must be deployed at regular intervals and again these personnel must sincere and honest in carrying our their duties. (6) Corrupt officials in every fields/industries must be dealt with strictly and this needs to be publicised so that people come to know. (7) Any commission ordered to probe such incidents must complete the tasks within a time frame and the findings needs to be made well known in public. Follow ups also must be done and the results must be declared in public. Hope with these measures, we can have safe India very soon. more

Action against the officials who issued fire license should be initiated in the first place. more

It is all due to irresponsible behaviour of enforcement agencies. They do not do their duties. Perhaps corruption is also the factor. more

While what you said is right, are we as Indians not responsible for all that goes around us. Safety should be a norm and people should follow it right from home. We blame others for not following safety rules, while we flout it ourselves. Wearing seat belts, speaking on mobiles, trying to cross highways by jumping over barriers, crossing railway lines instead of using foot over bridges, driving on wrong side of the road, etc not just ourselves but tagging our entire family along. Hoteliers and the problem persons who check and approve licenses are also Indians with the same mentality. A branded electrical cable of certain diameter if it cost say Rs150/- per meter, you can get unbranded wires of same size at less than Rs50/- per meter. Electricians and normal people will buy the latter. The current carrying capacity is very low, and if heavy load is connected, these get heated fast spoiling the insulation leading to short circuits. While carrying out renovations of our house do we really follow the rules. Beams are cut off, low quality of electrical wiring is used, bathrooms and water pipes are rerouted without proper thought as to how it affects the building or neighbouring flats. more

The owner knows nothing will happen to him if something goes wrong. People will die, media will discuss for couple of days. Case will drag in courts for years. Have we learnt any lesson from Uphaar tragedy. Did anyone really got punishment. more
