FIRE SAFETY: BIG POPULATION, MARGINAL AWARENESS; MUCH NEEDS TO BE DONE; CAN'T DEPEND ON 'LUCK'
The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
|February 23, 2025
Exactly 15 years ago on this day, Bengaluru witnessed a horrific incident: the Carlton Towers fire tragedy that claimed nine lives.
The incident exposed how vulnerable our buildings, particularly high-rise ones, are to fire accidents. The families that lost their loved ones came together and formed 'Beyond Carlton', an organisation committed to reducing fire accidents through education and advocacy. Its Managing Trustee and President Uday Vijayan, whose son was one of the nine casualties, in an interaction with the editorial team of The New Sunday Express, shares how 'Beyond Carlton' has brought changes, while a lot more needs to be done.
Excerpts...
Can we start with the change in the last 15 years that you have noticed on the fire safety front?
