Jagran correspondent, Muzaffarpur. Muzaffarpur fire station: The process of construction of the proposed two-unit fire building at Motipur has been expedited for quick control of fire incidents in the western region. For this, 30 decimal government land has been identified and its inter-departmental transfer has been completed. At present the process of measuring and demarcating the land is going on.
District Fire Officer Vinay Prasad Singh said that the work of measuring the land has been done around Republic Day. The process of demarcation will be completed soon by establishing coordination at the zonal level. After this the tender process will be started. The construction of this fire station building, which will be built at a cost of about Rs 3.50 crore, will take about 14 months. It is likely to become operational from the year 2027.
Direct benefit to more than 10 lakh population
With the commissioning of this fire building, more than 10 lakh population will directly benefit. Here two big fire vehicles and more than half a dozen small fire engines will be available 24 hours. Besides, officers and fire fighters will also be stationed here, so that in case of emergency, relief work can be started immediately. From this centre, fire vehicles will be able to reach fire incidents in dozens of nearby villages including Kathaiya, Motipur, Baruraj, Kanti, Sahebganj, Paru within minutes.
Need increased due to industrial sector
Due to industrial development in Motipur area, the utility of this fire fighting building has further increased. The industrial area has been developed here, where many industries are operating. Along with the operation of the ethanol plant, an industrial area is also being developed in Paru. In view of this, construction of a two-unit fire station building is considered extremely necessary.
60 lakh population dependent on 25 fire vehicles
At present, there are a total of 25 fire engines in the district, including big and small, on which a population of about 60 lakhs depends. Due to lack of resources, many times in fire incidents, fire vehicles do not reach on time or due to lack of water, the fire cannot be controlled.
Keeping this in mind, new fire brigade buildings are also being constructed in Bhagwanpur, Bela and SKMCH in the district. The building in Bhagwanpur has been completed, while the process of marking land is underway in Bela and SKMCH. At the same time, the largest three-unit fire brigade building in the district has already been completed in Chandwara.
