Coaching classes and nurseries should be secure from fire
Within the jurisdiction of Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, there are
various types of private coaching classes and nursery schools for small
children. Most of these classroom are located anywhere from first floor to
fourth floor of residential or commercial buildings or at the places which are
for public use. It has been found that these coaching classes do not have
proper fire security system.
Just recently, one such kind of coaching classes in Surat had caught huge
fire which had led to severe injuries to 18 students.
NMMC has learnt a lesson or two from this fire incident in Surat. The
NMMC authorities have alerted the fire department as well as the owners of the
buildings as well as cooperative societies where such private coaching classes
and nurseries for small children are located. NMMC authorities have warned
these people that there should be proper fire security system installed in such
classes. Those who run these classes have been told to obtain license from
Maharashtra Fire Service Directorate and also get fire audit done and next
provide a report related to that to the MMMC’s fire department. NMMC has
clearly warned that if such fire incident takes place then the organization or
building owner or cooperative housing society who hold such classes will be
held responsible and legal action will be taken against them. All these people
will have to get fire extinguishing gadgets installed within their buildings.
In order to obtain fire license, the following site: www.maharashtrafireservices.org
can be used.
This is a good thing that NMMC is doing. It is a good thing to learn from
experiences of others. That a fire in Surat should make NMMC take quick steps
in their own jurisdiction to avoid such fire incidents here is the sign of how
alert our NMMC authorities are. This alertness they displayed should be lauded
by one and all.
