In the aftermath of a fire at a nightclub in Goa that claimed 25 lives, Delhi Police on Sunday asked hotels and clubs in the city to review their compliance with fire safety norms.
“Establishments must ensure that extinguishers are functional, exits remain unobstructed, and electrical load is monitored. We will deploy additional force outside nightclubs and keep a strict vigil to ensure that they adhere to all the rules,” said a police officer.
The officer said in view of Christmas and New Year, the police have enhanced patrolling at key hotspots to maintain law and order. “We have already deployed additional PCRs and motorcycle riders, and increased foot patrolling in the city,” the officer said.
The directions come amid security concerns following last month’s blast outside Red Fort that killed 15 people.
Concerted effort
The officer said the police will maintain continuous coordination with the district administration and the Delhi Fire Services to ensure compliance with rules at party venues and monitor suspicious vehicular movements.
