Overview
- The latest enforcement action saw the PMC fire brigade close 10 paying‑guest units in Viman Nagar, a move reported on Monday during the drive's fourth consecutive day.
- Officials say the campaign inspected 129 establishments over five days and recorded 77 actions by fire officers and 52 by station officers.
- Inspectors repeatedly found missing statutory clearances and basic safety measures such as fire no‑objection certificates, structural reports, clear exit routes and firefighting equipment.
- Authorities have issued statutory notices under the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Safety Measures Act 2006, the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act 1966 and the Maharashtra Municipal Corporations Act 1949 and given operators seven days to comply.
- PMC officials warned they will trace properties that remove nameboards, ordered daily photographic reports from teams and plan to move fire permissions online while aiming for at least 20 inspections a day, a step that may disrupt operators and tenants in the short term.
