Palam fire incident worsened due to fire brigade negligence; Saurabh Bhardwaj demands impartial investigation and strict action against responsible officials.
Delhi AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj has raised serious concerns over the recent Palam fire incident, highlighting the negligence of the fire brigade and demanding a thorough investigation. He claimed that crucial information related to the incident was allegedly suppressed, but the truth is now emerging.
According to Bhardwaj, timely intervention by the fire brigade could have saved many lives. The failure of fire safety equipment, including ladders and hydraulic systems, significantly delayed rescue operations and increased the overall damage during the Palam fire incident.
Rescue Operations Hampered by Technical Failures
Saurabh Bhardwaj revealed that the fire brigade ladder at the scene did not operate properly, delaying the evacuation of people from upper floors. He also pointed out that a mattress store nearby could have provided temporary safety for trapped individuals, but permission for such measures was denied.
