FIRE SAFETY IN THE APARTMENTS IN BANGALORE - DID YOU CHECK ?

engaluru -  13,214 buildings lack fire safety

Over 13,000 of these are buildings in Bengaluru have complied with the safety norms set by The Department of Fire and Emergency Services in Karnataka and the apartment owners association are least bothered to ensure the safety of its members and the Department, during the course of its annual audit has discovered this non-compliance and has been intimated to the Government for further action.

The NOC issued by the Fire and Emergency Department is NOT for the Government nor for the department welfare and it is for the safety and security of the subjects residing in the multistoried apartments, but the associations does not seem to be bothered about the safety of its subjects.

The directorate may request  the civic utility providers to cut electricity and water supply if they do not comply with the mandatory guidelines within 90 days.

All high-rise building plans have to be approved by the Department and  About 2,205 buildings had obtained initial clearances but failed to adopt our recommendations and the violators will be served with notices to adopt safety measures as per prescribed guidelines.


"Following directions of the High Court of Karnataka pertaining to implementation of these guidelines, the department took up spot verification of buildings across the state. Several district officers were summoned to Bengaluru on deputation to assess the umpteen high-rise buildings that have mushroomed here in the past few years. Our officers visited premises of almost every building to verify their fire safety measures. It was only last week that we finished with the first phase of the audit and in the coming few days, we will take up classification of these buildings into residential, commercial and public buildings," explained yet another senior officer of the directorate.

Major violations that were detected include lack of access roads as wide as 12 mt, lack of driveways that can accommodate fire fighting vehicles, not having water sumps and overhead tanks for supply of water, non-existent water sprinkler system, and unscientific fire exit staircase.

The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA), which is in the process of preparing the Revised Master Plan 2031, has come up with the latest base map for the city that shows urban agglomeration in close to 3,300 sq. km in and around the city, much beyond the BMA limits,  Which  include parts of Anekal, Bidadi and the entire area presently under the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Planning Authority (BMICPA). The BDA wants the government to scrap the BMICPA and merge it with the BDA area. The BDA’s fresh proposal comes at a time when its action to chalk out RMP 2031 itself has been challenged after the formation of Bangalore Metropolitan Planning Council.
