Overview
- The Telangana Fire Services Directorate General Vikram Singh Mann cancelled the Fire No Objection Certificate for Niloufer Cafe after a surprise inspection uncovered multiple fire‑safety violations.
- Inspectors reported that the outlet was operating a full‑fledged restaurant above the fourth floor without required permissions, a direct breach of the conditions tied to its fire clearance.
- Officials said the inspection findings posed an imminent danger to human life and property, which was the stated basis for the cancellation.
- The action was taken following a recent series of fire accidents in the state and officials publicly urged licence holders to follow fire‑safety conditions and citizens to use precautions.
- The building is listed as municipal number 8-2-682/P2, P3 on Road No. 12 in Banjara Hills and the cancellation typically prevents lawful operation until safety shortfalls are fixed or the decision is reversed through administrative remedies.
