ALL THAT WENT WRONG

■ No fire alarm

■ Emergency exit locked at night

■ Illegal restaurant on rooftop

■ Lack of safety signs

■ Use of smoke-causing material

■ Compressed sawdust woodwork helped spread flames

■ Blocked ventilation outlets

■ Fire hose not connected to sources of water

■ Fire extinguishers not working

AREA PLANS IN LIMBO

■ As Karol Bagh is notified as “Special Area”, development control norms (under Master Plan Delhi-2021) are not applicable as it is to be developed as a “business district”

■ MCDs say that the Delhi govt is yet to notify the redevelopment plan for “Special Areas”. As a result, civic agencies cannot start redevelopment work.
