Uttar Pradesh chief secretary Durga Shankar Mishra has directed fire department officials to impart training to all personnel about how to save themselves and others in the event of a fire accident in an office compound.
He issued directions in this regard while making a surprise inspection of offices and various sections situated in Shastri Bhawan (the building that used to have chief minister’s office till March 2017) here on Monday, a day after a fire broke out near the gate No 3 of the Vidhan Bhawan.
Mishra further said the fire department too should be equipped with all the necessary tools to quickly and effectively deal with any situation arising from a fire accident. “A periodical check of fire-fighting equipment must be carried out to keep them operational all the time,” he said.
