Rajkot MP Ram Mokariya’s office in non-compliance of fire safety norms

The building of Rajkot Rajya Sabha MP Ram Mokariya has been issued a fire safety notice by the Municipal Fire Brigade.

The building owned by Mokariya on Yagnik Road houses a courier office on the ground floor and another office above it. The notice mandates that fire safety measures must be implemented within seven days.

Fire Brigade Station Officer Amit Dave said that wherever a fire occurs, the fire brigade checks fire safety. A small fire incident occurred in the above office in July. As the building is more than 9 metres high, as per the rules, a notice has been issued to this building including the courier for fire safety.

“If necessary action is not taken within the notice period, it will be sealed, but the process of installing fire safety equipment has been started,” said Dave.

Essentially, the notice informs a building owner that their building has fire safety issues due to its height and a previous fire incident. They have been given seven days to rectify the problems or the building will be sealed.
