In the wake of a recent fire incident in Mehatpur industrial area, where property worth about Rs 4 crore was estimated to have been gutted, the DC said it was mandatory for all commercial installations to adhere to the safety norms prescribed by the disaster mitigation authority.

He said the design of the civil structures should be such that relief and rescue operations can be performed unhindered.
