The Fire Mishaps
----------------------
It is pitiful to see and read about the inferno that charred so many
lives
on April 10 at Victoria Park, in Uttar Pradesh. There were be so many
other people injured by the stampede that followed. As a co-incidence,
on that very day Mapusa town got a new fire station complex.
Of late, in Goa too we have trade fairs inside similar pandals erected
for the purpose. This should be an eye-opener to the local authorities
to enforce stringent safety measures whenever such pandals are erected.
It is often observed that there is one entry point and one exit point for
such igloo type of pandals. It must be made mandatory to have sufficient
emergency exit points in order to avert tragedies.
All electrical installations should be secured from chances of short
circuits
in order to safeguard precious lives and property. It is observed many a
times that electrical wires are just joined and left un-insulated in
pandals,
not excluding the pandal erected at the Basilica, Old Goa.
Similarly, most of our electrical service connections are left open to
the
vagaries of sun, wind and rain. Just imagine the result and the avoidable
loss, if such a thing happens. It would be an useless exercise to set up
inquiry committees after the damage is already done.
