Collector can order closure of buildings not conforming with safety parameters
The district administration is gearing up to crack down on high rise buildings in the city functioning with scant regard for fire safety measures. District Collector P.I. Sheikh Pareed told The Hindu that suo motu inspections will be carried out randomly in high rise buildings to verify whether they conformed to the mandatory fire safety parameters. The District Collector can order the closure of buildings not confirming with safety parameters invoking his authority as Executive Magistrate.
