Behaving recklessly: Godowns mushroom in Hyderabad's private centre points

Behaving recklessly: Godowns mushroom in Hyderabad's private centre points

HYDERABAD: While the Telangana government is reflecting on moving out all perilous business foundations to the city's edges. A fast review by this journalist - days after the horrendous Bhoiguda fire - showed that many such designs have sprung up across Hyderabad's local locations.

Right from Afzal Sagar in Habeeb Nagar, Musheerabad, Begum Bazaar, Rasoolpura, Moosapet, Balkampet and different pockets in Old City, these packed godowns and stockrooms should be visible working with perilously huge supplies of flammable material inside and no fire security measures set up.

In Afzal Sagar, went over somewhere around seven piece distribution centres encompassed by private houses and condos. Different spots in Habeeb Nagar also have various distribution centres lodging metal pieces, including copper wires that burst into flames without any problem. Truth be told, in May 2020, a fire incident happened at a piece stockroom nearby and harmed numerous neighbouring shops.

More awful, traveller labourers from Bhoiguda said that it is genuinely normal for the workers to remain in these stopgap facilities inside lumber stations and metal or wood distribution centres.

"We are generally given an assigned space to cook, eat and rest at our working environment itself as there is no degree for us to manage the cost of leased convenience here," Raghubir Ram, a labourer at a wood station in Bhoiguda said.

What's more, this is valid for labourers in Musheerabad as well - spotted with a few such shanty warehouses neighbouring private lofts. Similar as the ill fated scrap godown, these too have just a single section and leave point, with no fire quenchers. Some even have no admittance to water. Another simila-rity: Many of them work without an exchange permit from the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC). 

"The situation is the equivalent all over. Regardless of whether they need a fire NoC, to get an exchange permit, they would have to have at least security measures set up so they don't put it all on the line," Syed Mohammed, an inhabitant of Habeeb Nagar said.

Right after the new misfortune, fire authorities are presently planning to take up mindfulness programs across these distribution centres. "We will consider what is happening across the city and direct mindfulness drives in a large number of these business units managing ignitable materials. The significant accentuation is that there can't be any inhabitants in these premises," said Srinivas Reddy, local fire official.
