Rules ‘flouted’, fire-hit Western Railway highrise gets civic notice

MUMBAI: A fortnight after a fire broke out at a 21-storey railway officers' quarters at Mumbai Central, the fire brigade has slapped a notice on Western Railway (WR) about "inadequacies" in fire prevention noticed during the fire-fighting operation. WR has a week to comply.

A nominated fire officer had also inspected the building on December 22. The notice refers to deviations vis-a-vis prevention of basic requirements to regarding prevention of fires and life-safety measures.While portable fire extinguishers provided on every floor were not checked and refilled since 2006, the fire alarm system was not functional. Besides, the refuge area was not in keeping with fire safety norms for high-rises.

Deputy chief fire officer P S Rahangdale said, "We hope they comply within one week... If not, action will be taken."

Western Railway's divisional railway manager Shailendra Kumar said he would file a reply by Tuesday. "We have found that some of the existing fire-fighting equipment were already under repair and efforts were being made to ensure that they are in proper working condition," said Kumar.
