Bengaluru: The Bengaluru fire department has swung into action after the Kamala Mills fire in Mumbai. The DGP in-charge of the fire department, MN Reddy, instructed officers to check for unauthorised high-rise buildings with terrace pubs, restaurants and issue notices if they do not have adequate fire safety measures in place.
Inspections have been carried out at buildings in Indira Nagar and Kormangala, which house many popular eateries of the city.
Reddy said the pubs and restaurants will be given a 15-day deadline to set right their fire safety measures. If they don't meet the deadline they will face closure.
When CNN-News 18 contacted Barleyz Bar in Kormangala, its general manager, Naik, said they had all the adequate measures in place. The inspecting officer had found that the ceiling exhaust of the restaurant weren't functioning and asked that it be rectified at the earliest.
