Rising temperatures: LSGD conducts surprise inspections in waste treatment plants

As temperatures rise, the Local Self Government Department (LSGD) has taken proactive measures to prevent fire accidents in waste treatment plants. A dedicated team from LSGD conducted surprise inspections in 96 local self-government institutions, assessing preparedness and security measures. These inspections, led by Internal Vigilance Officers/Assistant Directors, were carried out under the directive of the LSGD Principal Director.

The government's directive mandated local self-government institutions to ensure robust security arrangements at waste treatment plants under their jurisdiction. Inspections focused on key aspects such as the presence of sufficient fire extinguishers, accessibility for fire trucks during emergencies, prevention of short-circuiting, and availability of water supply.

In the coming days, similar inspections will extend to all state self-government institutions, with strict actions planned against any instances of negligence by officials.
