    States to undertake fire safety audits of COVID-19 hospitals: SC
  • The Supreme Court on Friday directed all the states to carry out fire safety audits of dedicated COVID-19 hospitals across the country to prevent fire incidents in medical institutions.

    The apex court also directed dedicated COVID-19 hospitals to take a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the fire department within four weeks and said that failure to do so will invite punitive action.

  • A bench headed by Justice Ashok Bhushan said, those hospitals, whose fire NOC has expired, will have to get it renewed within four weeks.

    The bench, also comprising justices RS Reddy and MR Shah, said that observance of COVID-19 guidelines in political rallies will be looked into by the Election Commission.

    The bench said every state is obliged to appoint a nodal officer to ensure that there is no repeat of fire incidents in hospitals.

    If fire measures are not followed in COVID-19 hospitals, state government will take necessary action.
