“We have sent notices to different organisations which include high-rise, group housing societies, commercial establishments and paying guests. In the notice, it has been told that if the occupiers do not have a fire NOC, should take NOC from the fire department as soon as possible. Also, the societies or commercial establishment whose fire NOC has expired, should renew their NOC and if it is not done, the fire department will take action against them,” Gulshan Kalra, Deputy Director, Fire Department told IANS.
A notice has been issued to them and their reply has been sought, Kalra said, adding that a total of 3 notices will be given to the property occupiers and despite this NOC is not obtained even after giving notice, then FIR will be recommended against them”.
