Summary:
Kolkata: The Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) will not compromise with the fire safety measures when it comes to opening up the underground parking facility at New Market. The strong stand taken by the civic body has put uncertainty about the timing of opening up the parking lot. "The state Fire and Emergency Services department has recommended a number of modern equipments that should be installed in the parking space to have foolproof fire safety. The underground parking facility was closed in March 2016, following safety concerns raised by the Fire department. As per Fire Services recommendation, one of the ducts should have fire fighting facilities," a senior KMC official said..
