Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced a comprehensive 25-year Firefighting Master Plan aimed at enhancing public safety and preventing loss of life and property due to fire incidents. This initiative comes in response to recent tragedies, including a fire in a four-storey residential building that claimed nine lives, including a toddler. Gupta emphasized the need for a robust operational framework, directing relevant departments to analyze past incidents and develop effective response strategies. Key components of the plan include increasing manpower, establishing new fire stations, and acquiring modern firefighting equipment. The government will also launch an awareness campaign to educate the public on fire safety measures and conduct mock drills to improve emergency preparedness. Departments have been instructed to submit a detailed blueprint within 10 days, identifying recurring fire causes and vulnerable zones, ensuring that no illegal constructions obstruct emergency services.
