Important documents including pension and provident fund of 3.50 lakhs retired employees of Gujarat were gutted in a fire at the Pensioners-Provident Fund, Treasury and Control Office located at Block No. 17 of Secretariat, Gandhinagar.
In 2021, the state government was the biggest defaulter in the implementation of fire safety norms in the state capital. Of the total government buildings, 42% were found to be owned by government departments without fire clearance certificates. Gandhinagar Municipal Corporation announced in 2021. Not much has changed today. 22 buildings had equipment.
As 16 buildings do not have fire sprinklers, their details including their names were disclosed. From where government departments work. Birsa Munda Bhawan, Nirman Bhawan, Census Bhawan, Old Sachivalaya Block 1-18, STC Staff Training College, Gujarat Water Works Department, New Sachivalaya Block 1-7, New Sachivalaya Block 8-14, Patnagar Yojna Bhawan, Circuit House, Rest House Research institutes like Dandi Kutir, GPSC Bhawan, Police Bhawan, Krishi Bhawan and Board of Secondary Education, Gujarat Forensic Science Laboratory also did not have fire NOCs.
There are 33 districts, 40 RTOs, 250 taluks and offices of 34 government departments and 15,000 offices with 13,000 gram panchayats are associated with government work. Most of these do not have any arrangement to extinguish the fire and if there are means, they are not working. It is believed that 60 percent of these are such offices. The retired officer said. 350 government web addresses and 22,000 e-mail addresses belong to government officials and offices.
Some offices did not even have fire extinguishers.
On June 8, 2023, on behalf of the Congress, the government was accused that the repeated incidents of fire in the government offices of the secretariat and the destruction of important documents are an experiment or a coincidence? The BJP government should answer. Another incident of fire in various blocks of old secretariat is part of destruction of documents-evidence of corruption-malpractice-scam or what?
Ask the sitting judge of the High Court to investigate frequent incidents of fire in important offices including the old secretariat. Congress demanded that
Incidents of fire in the Secretariat have also come to the fore in the past.
Below the assembly was the telephone exchange of the government. From where every officer’s call comes out. Record is kept. That too was burnt to ashes.
15 government buildings, including the new and old secretariats, did not have fire NOCs, and the BJP government often claims they are safe, and on the other hand, important documents and evidence are being systematically destroyed in case of fire.
The state government has allocated Rs. Rs 29 crore is given for the construction of district buildings and Rs 2.5 crore is given to the taluka panchayat. Former Chief Minister Vijay Rupani announced that in 2021, Gujarat has become a model state by modernizing government offices as corporate buildings.
The newly constructed District Panchayat building was inaugurated in Morbi at a cost of Rs 27 crore. New panchayat buildings have been constructed in 20 districts.
The offices where important government documents including stamp duty, land office are kept have become subject of fire due to lack of fire safety. Despite the incident of fire in the office in the past, why did the government system fail? Although important files including many important government documents are kept in the office, but no fire safety facility is visible. There is no arrangement as per fire safety rules.
The formality is completed by applying a fire extinguisher or cylinder. Some cylinders have expiry date. Government officials do not learn lessons even from past incidents of arson. Exposed electrical wires are posing a danger.
The four-storey building lacks fire fighting facilities as per the guidelines of the Government Fire Department. There is also no watchman to guard the office till 10 am and after 7 pm or on holidays. No one is ready to take care of the entire building.
Recently, there was a fire in the stamp duty office located in the building.

Exam papers would often get torn, dummies would come out, bunches of duplicate certificates would come out. Gujarat’s Jwari Kand is bigger than Vyapam Kand. Somewhere in the investigation, fire is set or set so that the evidence does not come to the fore, the involvement of big gangsters does not come to the fore. The government should set up a SIT headed by a high court judge to investigate all the recruitments done in the last 27 years. The opposition had demanded that the evidence be burnt.
Burned the files in the Secretariat and came to Gaurav. There is no file in the secretariat, the future of Gujarat is burnt, if this happens in every department, then corruption will increase. If this happens in every department then officers will get open ground for corruption.

AAP, Manoj Sorthia – No work has been done on the ground of rural development in Gujarat. But government files show that the work has been completed. The files of the works done on paper used to be in this section. BJP has wasted crores of rupees in the name of village development. These files have been burnt so that all the details of corruption are not revealed. Where does the money of the budget of 2.5 lakh crores go? Development is not visible far and wide in the villages. Within that section were files with complete information. Corruption in Gujarat is a conspiracy. Bring it in front of the public and tell the public which were the files that got burnt.

Ahmedabad
Eleven years ago following a submission to the Gujarat High Court regarding fire safety features in multi-storied buildings in Ahmedabad, the court ordered the strict implementation of preventive fire protection systems. Hence.
There is lack of fire safety in government offices including Palanpur. It is like digging a well when it is on fire.
At present fire extinguishers are installed in government buildings. Fire fighting cylinders have been hung in district panchayats to prevent fire. It has to be refilled in two years. Which is not happening. Some places have such cylinders since 1996.
There is gross negligence of R&B and Panchayat regarding fire safety. Many government buildings including the collector’s office do not have fire safety facilities.
The High Court is equally serious about preventing major losses due to fire incidents in the state and has been cracking down on the government and municipalities over fire safety for some time now. But the facade works quite well as if the government and the system are not serious about it.
The government itself is careless about fire safety.
A notice has been issued to provide fire safety facilities to government office buildings in metropolitan area as per rules. NOC has provided fire protection in corporation building as well as in zonal offices. Have received.
If the building has a basement or any floor with a construction area of 500 meters or more, then it is mandatory to take a fire NOC.
