Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has directed officials to develop a comprehensive firefighting master plan for New Delhi, emphasizing the need for accountability and preparedness in fire prevention and emergency response. During a review meeting, Gupta instructed departments to submit a detailed blueprint within 10 days, focusing on vulnerable zones, recurring causes of fires, and gaps in current systems. The Delhi Fire Service (DFS) is tasked with proposing enhancements such as increasing manpower, establishing new fire stations, and acquiring modern firefighting equipment. Minister Ashish Sood highlighted plans for long-term strengthening of the DFS, with a focus on future needs over the next 25 years. The CM also called for intensified monitoring of illegal constructions, which hinder emergency responses, and directed the power department to ensure safe electrical infrastructure, as electrical faults are a major fire cause. Additionally, the government plans to launch a citywide fire safety awareness campaign and conduct mock drills to prepare residents for emergencies.
