A pub owned by Indian cricket star Virat Kohli in Karnataka has come under scrutiny after the local civic body issued a notice for alleged fire safety violations. The establishment, which is a popular destination for food and entertainment, has been asked to comply with fire safety norms to ensure public safety.
Details of the Violation
The notice was served following an inspection by the fire and emergency services department, which reportedly found lapses in the pub’s adherence to mandatory fire safety measures. Key issues include the absence of functional fire extinguishers, inadequate emergency exits, and the lack of a comprehensive fire safety plan.
Officials have directed the pub’s management to address the violations immediately and submit a compliance report. Failure to do so could result in further legal action, including the possible closure of the establishment.
Management’s Response
Representatives of the pub have stated that they are working closely with authorities to resolve the issues. They assured patrons that all necessary steps will be taken to meet fire safety standards and maintain a safe environment.
This incident underscores the importance of adhering to fire safety regulations in public spaces to prevent potential hazards.
