Reportedly, concerns have been raised regarding several approved housing schemes lacking efficient emergency and firefighting facilities, which are mandatory under existing safety laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/cda-auctions-plots-securing-pkr-3-82-billion.html\"> CDA\u2019s 18 plots auction surpasses PKR 3.82 billion mark<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this effect, the Additional Director of Emergency and Disaster Management wrote a letter to emphasize the urgency of the situation to the Directors of Housing Societies and Regional Planning, along with the Registrar of cooperative housing societies. The said correspondence highlighted the need for strict implementation of fire safety regulations in Islamabad\u2019s housing projects and stated that the Capital Development Authority (CDA) cannot solely respond to fire incidents effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent any such calamities, the Directorate proposed that dedicated spots for \u2018Fire Sub-Stations\u2019 and allied personnel should be made mandatory for granting approval of \u2018LOPs\/Revised-LOP and issuance of NOC\u2019 by the relevant authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The officials fully support this measure to protect the residents of these housing societies. Moreover, the Municipal Corporation Islamabad (MCI) offered to help with staff training, getting suitable equipment, and hiring technical resources. However, it&#8217;s important to note that the housing societies will have to cover the expenses for these safety measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/cda-finalises-bup-awards-for-sector-c-15.html\">CDA finalises BuP awards for Sector C-15<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The letter also suggested that the fire sub-stations should also acquire ambulance services for residents&#8217; safety during emergencies. It should be noted that the initiative aligns with the Ministry of Interior&#8217;s objective of making the capital a resilient city with top-notch fire safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to the recently surfaced issues of fire-based security measures, the Govt. has taken strict actions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":94322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15020],"tags":[57244,1157,44910],"persona":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-94308","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-social-developments","8":"tag-fire-safety-measures","9":"tag-government-of-punjab","10":"tag-social-development","11":"cat-15020-id"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Call for Fire Safety Measures in Housing Societies - Zameen News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On account of poor fire security measures in the capital&#039;s private housing societies, the Directorate of E&amp;DM has taken a strict notice.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/call-fire-safety-measures-housing-societies.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Call for Fire Safety Measures in Housing Societies - Zameen News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On account of poor fire security measures in the capital&#039;s private housing societies, the Directorate of E&amp;DM has taken a strict notice.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/news\/call-fire-safety-measures-housing-societies.html\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Pakistan Real Estate News &amp;
