Speaking to Hindustan Times, Ram said, “The review of departments will continue for the next two days. We will fire and audit all hospitals managed by the civic body.”
According to Pune Mirror, "Fire incidents pose a serious threat to citizens' lives, often worsened by governmental apathy and non-functional or non-existent fire safety mechanisms," Ram noted. He stressed the importance of ensuring that all municipal, government, and private healthcare facilities comply with fire safety norms. The fire audit will identify gaps and enforce necessary upgrades to safeguard public spaces.
