Following the recent fire tragedy in the state capital, the state government launched a massive crackdown on illegal basements and coaching centres. In a recent development, the local development authority sealed a basement premises running a computer school for violating critical fire safety norms, including the absence of emergency exits and fire extinguishers. However, the enforcement action was quickly retracted after it emerged that the building is allegedly connected to the family of a prominent political figure.
Within hours, the official seal was removed, and fresh paint was applied to erase the authority's markings from the building walls. Despite video evidence confirming the initial sealing process, civic officials backtracked, claiming they only issued a notice for compliance and did not seal the building. The incident has sparked allegations of double standards, raising serious questions about whether civic safety regulations are strictly enforced for ordinary citizens but bypassed for politically influential individuals.
