Jagran correspondent, Dhanbad. Goa Nightclub Incident: The recent massive fire at the Birch by Romeo Lane night club in Arpora (North Goa), Goa, has shocked the entire country. Due to the fire that broke out late at night, people present in the club could not come out and about 25 people died in the accident.
This tragic incident has raised serious questions on the safety of entertainment venues across the country. Preliminary investigation has raised suspicion of short circuit, and it has also come to light that there were not adequate security arrangements in the club.
Taking a lesson from the Goa incident, Dhanbad Police has become fully active regarding security arrangements in the city. Senior Superintendent of Police Prabhat Kumar has ordered all police station in-charges to immediately check the security standards in hotels, cafes, bars and restaurants in the area.
The SSP has specifically directed to strictly review points like fire fighting arrangements, emergency exit routes, CCTV, power wiring and crowd capacity. After the order, police teams have started checking operations in hotels and restaurants in many areas.
The availability of fire extinguishers, functionality of alarm systems, condition of exit doors and electrical connections were closely checked. Where deficiencies were found, operators were instructed to make immediate improvements, along with a clear warning was also given that action would be taken if negligence is found. Police have said that area-wise comprehensive inspection will be conducted in the coming days and joint investigation will also be conducted if necessary. The objective is to ensure that no Goa-like accident happens again in Dhanbad and the citizens of the city remain completely safe.
