Supreme Court Plea Seeks National Fire and Life Safety Framework for Public Premises
A public interest litigation filed by advocate Narendra Kumar Goswami in the Supreme Court seeks the establishment of a uniform national fire and life safety framework for high-risk public occupancy premises across India. The plea highlights recurring fire tragedies in schools, hospitals, hotels, and other public buildings, citing inconsistent state regulations and enforcement gaps. It requests time-bound directives for safety audits, compliance mechanisms, emergency preparedness, and accountability to prevent future incidents and ensure public safety nationwide.
