This is sad 😞 fire incidents in government offices are way too common. Our buildings need better infrastructure and maintenance. Prayers for everyone's safety🙏
In India, fires in government offices are alarmingly frequent due to outdated electrical wiring and lack of fire safety equipment. The fact that it happened at the Ministry of Education is ironic—the same ministry that should be teaching safety protocols. Let's hope there's a proper audit now.
😟 hope everyone is safe! But seriously, how many fire accidents do we need to see before regular inspections become mandatory? Even in Delhi, safety standards are poor. Kudos to the fire brigade for reaching quickly though!
This is concerning. The Education Ministry is where our children's future is shaped, but they can't even maintain fire safety basics. I'm not surprised but definitely disappointed. Let's push for strict compliance with fire safety codes in all government buildings.
