Summary:
Many areas in Central Nagpur, Sitabuldi, Sadar and other slum belts in Nagpur are highly sensitive in terms of fire accidents. “We are having four mini tenders that are over 20 years old. The department is also procuring two new water bowsers with storage capacity of 16,000 litres water to assist the mini fire tenders. Particularly in thickly crowded lanes (modis) in Sitabuldi where multi-floors hotels and shops are thriving without sufficient fire safety equipments, these mini tenders will prove to be very effective.
