Over a year after the Rajkot Gaming Zone fire that killed 27 people, fire safety compliance in Ahmedabad remains lax.
AMC data shows 309 high-rises without a valid Fire NOC — 259 residential and 50 commercial-cum-residential. Prime areas like Bodakdev, Satellite, and Shahibaug have the highest non-compliance, with buildings such as Galaxy Towers, Indraprastha Towers, Rahul Tower, and Takshshila Towers lacking valid certificates.
Officials warn that a Fire NOC is not just paperwork but a crucial safety measure. While some building managers deny lapses, others cite AMC’s technical errors. Citizens can check their building’s status on ahmedabadcity.gov.in.
