Gujarat HC seeks status of Fire NOCs for hospitals
Gujarat High Court
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat High Court has asked the state government to provide details regarding fire safety measures in hospitals across the state, including the number of hospitals and whether they have valid Fire No Objection Certificates (NOCs).
This direction came during the hearing of a suo motu PIL related to the deadly fire at the TRP Game Zone in Rajkot in May last year, where 27 people, including four children, lost their lives.
During the hearing, Advocate General Kamal Trivedi informed the court that both private and government schools are now following fire safety rules and have obtained the required NOCs.

In response, Chief Justice Sunita Agarwal asked about the state's action regarding the hospital's fire safety measures. She asked Trivedi, “Next is hospitals. Now do the same as you have done for the schools. That is very much required. What do you propose to do?”
