Pune Authorities Inspect and Seal Multiple Establishments Over Fire Safety ViolationsPreviousNext

The Pune Municipal Corporation's Fire Department has intensified inspections of paying guest accommodations, hostels, coaching classes, and other establishments across areas including Shivajinagar, Navi Peth, Lohegaon, Wadgaon Budruk, Narhe, and Dhayari. Authorities found multiple premises lacking mandatory fire safety measures and required permissions related to building, drainage, and fire department approvals. As a result, notices were issued to 36 establishments, and 31 others—including 11 PGs and seven scrap units—were sealed or ordered shut. Officials warned of strict action against non-compliance to ensure student and public safety.
