At least 90 hotels in Lucknow violate fire safety norms
At least 90 hotels in the city are yet to comply with fire safety norms despite being served notices by Lucknow Development Authority five months ago. Though LDA officials claimed they have sealed 33 hotels for flouting rules, the exercise has been very slow. LDA has now issued fresh notices to 90 hotels, asking them to either implement fire safety norms or face action. The hotels, mostly located in narrow lanes of Charbagh, Alambagh, Nakhas, Lalbagh, Chinhat and Kaiserbagh, were earlier issued notices in April-May. Crackdown on hotels flouting fire safety norms began in June 2018 after six persons died in a fire in two hotels in Charbagh. The two hotels were built on residential property and had no fire safety arrangements. An LDA survey revealed that 180 (45%) out of 400 hotels were operating without map approval and NOC from fire safety department.
