Jaipur: Establishments sealed by the Jaipur Municipal Corporation for lacking fire NOCs and adequate firefighting systems will be granted temporary relief to comply with safety norms. The Directorate of Local Bodies (DLB) issued a notice allowing such premises to be de-sealed for 30 days.However, the relaxation comes with strict conditions. No commercial activity will be permitted during this period, and the establishments will only be allowed to carry out work related to the installation of fire safety equipment and compliance with prescribed norms.So far, JMC has sealed seven major establishments, including two coaching institutes and five restaurants and bars, for failing to meet fire safety requirements. The premises were sealed for 180 days or until further orders.Explaining how compliance will be monitored, DC Fire Praveen Kumar said, “Fire and public safety remain our highest priority. The institutions have been granted a limited 30-day relaxation solely to enable compliance with fire safety norms, and no commercial activity is permitted during this period.”He added, “Compliance will be monitored through regular inspections and coordination with the local administration. Any violation of the conditions will invite immediate action, including resealing and other proceedings as per law.”Officials said the move is intended to allow the affected establishments to install the required firefighting systems and obtain the necessary clearances while ensuring that public safety is not compromised.Authorities made it clear that any institution found carrying out commercial operations during the relaxation period or failing to meet the stipulated conditions will face strict action under the relevant provisions of law.
