Action Against Units Violating Fire Safety Norms
The action was carried out as part of BNCMC's ongoing drive against commercial and industrial establishments flouting fire safety regulations. According to civic officials, the units had failed to install the required fire protection infrastructure and had not obtained the mandatory Fire NOC despite prior notices.
Acting on the directives of Municipal Commissioner Anmol Sagar, the BNCMC Fire and Emergency Services Department has been conducting inspections across industrial, commercial and other establishments in the city to verify compliance with fire safety norms.
Notices Issued Under Fire Safety Laws
During the inspection, officials found that several establishments were operating without the prescribed fire safety measures and mandatory approvals. Consequently, notices were issued under the provisions of the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act, 2006 (as amended in 2023) and the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Rules, 2025.
As part of the enforcement drive, a joint operation was conducted on July 16 at Narayan Bhoir Compound on Kalyan Road by officials from the BNCMC Fire and Emergency Services Department, City Police Station, and Torrent Power.
Power Disconnected, Units Sealed For Non-Compliance
During the operation, electricity supply to M/s Excel Electrochem Technology and M/s Crescent India Pvt. Ltd. was disconnected and both industrial establishments were sealed for non-compliance with fire safety requirements.
Civic officials said the action sends a strong message that industrial and commercial units operating without adequate fire safety arrangements will not be allowed to function, considering the potential risk to workers and nearby establishments.
