To address these concerns, the guardian minister took to social media and expressed his views. He stated, “A few days ago, there was a major fire in a furniture warehouse in the Timber Market, resulting in significant damage. Recently, there was another incident where a warehouse storing paper and cartons in the market yard caught fire. The firefighters have managed to bring the situation under control. Considering these frequent incidents, I have instructed the Municipal Corporation and the Fire Department to conduct fire audits of crowded areas and similar locations throughout the city.”

The directive aims to proactively identify potential fire hazards and implement necessary safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future. By conducting comprehensive fire audits, the PMC and the fire brigade can ensure the safety of Pune’s residents and mitigate the risks associated with fire emergencies.
