Fire brigade wants barricades to be removed from Metro site

November 02, 2017 17:01

The city's fire brigade department told the Bombay High Court today that it had sought the removal of barricades from a Metro III project site in south Mumbai to widen a service road, so that fire engines had an access to the buildings there in case of an emergency.

The department submitted a three-page report to the court after carrying out an inspection of the area, following a petition filed by a lawyer, Robin Jaisinghani, raising concerns that in case of a fire hazard, fire engines would not be able to reach the spot due to the ongoing Metro construction work at Cuffe Parade in south Mumbai. -- PTI
