Can we celebrate Diwali with a hawk-eye on fire safety?
Every year, our Diwali celebrations are filled with family get-togethers, great meals, and, of course, the mandatory fireworks. That last one concerns us, as it can put us and others at risk.
#Can we have defined spaces for burning fireworks? Open grounds with adequate fire safety measures and medical aid, if needed. We believe this existed in some cities years ago and is practised in cities around the world.
@PriyankKharge The Fire Dept. also needs a complete reform and review. We at Beyond Carlton have worked closely with @KarFireDept and created a first-of-its-kind fire safety blueprint for Bengaluru. With the wholehearted support and guidance of then @MNReddi_IPS .We're ready to join forces
BEYOND CARLTON’s BEACON initiative, supported by the @MicrolandLtd , brought fire safety awareness to a high-rise community in Jayanagar, Bengaluru this #IndependenceDay

“Reintroducing them is a practical step towards stronger emergency response and urban fire safety,” says @uday_vijayan
From Carlton Towers to Chickpet, Bengaluru’s #firesafety crisis continues to raise difficult questions.
Have we done enough to make our homes, workplaces & public spaces safer?
A timely read from @DeccanHerald on what needs to change

Embedding citizens' safety among our urban planners seems non-existent. @ShekharGupta is right. We @beyondcarlton have been developing city-wise fire safety blueprints for Bengaluru and Odisha. Do connect if you'd like one for your city.
