The Rawalpindi Civil Defence was making all out efforts to ensure safety of the citizens and conducting raids to inspect fire safety measures at commercial buildings while 300 notices were issued to the rules violators and 60 challans were sent to the court of Assistant Commissioner City during June
Talking to APP Chief Officer Civil Defence Talib Hussain said that the department launched a crackdown on the high-rise buildings and small industrial units in different areas of the district to inspect fire safety measures.
He said, 300 notices were issued to the owners of several plazas to improve fire safety arrangements.

The marriage halls and marquees in district Rawalpindi were also directed to take fire safety measures, he added.
He said, the department was conducting raids to inspect all educational institutions, factories, hotels, petrol stations, CNG stations, wedding halls, vehicle showrooms, high-rise buildings, plazas and issuing notices to those who had failed to adopt fire safety measures.
