PM4K NEWS 083: CWG 214 DAYS AWAY, HQ YET TO GET FIRE CLEARANCE

Continuing with the PM4K NEWS Series on the Commonwealth Games Project here’s another update.

NEW DELHI: After colour, it’s controversy over fire clearance that is dogging the New Delhi City Centre-II near Jantar Mantar, housing the Commonwealth Games organising committee. While the pink and purple wrap adorning the building’s façade had the Delhi Urban Art Commission and the building architect fuming a few months ago, Fire department officials now claim the building is yet to receive a clearance certificate from the Chief Fire Officer. The building was occupied almost eight months ago. A No Objection Certificate, or clearance certificate, by the Fire department is given to all buildings after construction. The building can get an occupancy certificate — a document obtained from the municipal body — only after it receives the clearance, which the Fire department says the organising committee headquarters is yet to receive. Chief Fire Officer G C Mishra said the delay in issuing clearance arose since construction work on the outer structure and the interiors were being carried simultaneously. “There was a rush to shift to the new building, so the authorities carried out work on the interiors at the same time,” Mishra said. “Clearance is usually sought soon after the main construction work is over.”
