KOLKATA: The state fire services department has sent a notice to the owners of Moon House — the eight-storey
building
on
Ganesh Chandra Avenue
— that had caught fire on Friday night, leading to the death of two persons, including a 12-year-old boy, to submit the details of
fire safety
measures at the building.
“We have asked the building owners to submit the fire safety-related details. Our officials have already noted down some of the major lacunas in the building but as per the process, we have asked them to furnish the documents,” said Jag Mohan, director general of state fire services.
The officials said once the owners submit the documents, the fire department will lodge a complaint with the local
police
station and then ask the building authorities to take up the necessary repair and fire safety works on an urgent basis.
Cops and KMC will
survey
old buildings in the area and identify structures having meter boxes under staircases. Meanwhile, most families of the building, which has no power and water, are staying at other places even after cops allowed them to return on Sunday.
