The authorities have been tasked with ensuring the presence and functionality of fire extinguishers, fire hydrants, and alarm systems.
The DG emphasized that emergency exit routes must be meticulously examined and cleared of all encroachments or obstacles.
“The clearance of these routes is vital for saving lives during any untoward incident,” he stated.
According to the press release, building owners with inadequate safety arrangements will be issued a one-week warning.
Failure to address deficiencies within the stipulated time will result in legal action under building control laws.
