Civic body Bengaluru Bruhat Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has issued a notice to cricketer Virat Kohli’s pub ‘One8 Commune’ over alleged hearth security violations.
The restaurant, positioned on the sixth ground of Ratnam’s Complex on upscale M. G. Road close to the Chinnaswamy International Cricket Stadium, has been reported to be functioning with no no objection certificates from the Fire Department.
Earlier, a notice was issued on November 29 on the criticism of social activists H. M. Venkatesh and Kunigal Narasimhamurthy. However, no reply has been obtained to this point.
Now, the BBMP has been given a seven-day deadline, and if clarification is missed this time too, authorized motion will probably be initiated towards the mentioned pub, the notice issued by the Health Officer of Shanthinagar Division of the BBMP mentioned.
Complainant Venkatesh said, “Many restaurants, bars, and pubs in high-rise buildings across Bengaluru are operating without any fire safety measures in place. In the past, fire accidents in Bengaluru have led to significant loss of life and injuries. For instance, during the Carlton Towers fire caused by a short circuit, people jumped off the building in an attempt to save their lives.”
“To prevent such incidents, BBMP and the Fire Department have conducted audits. They identified several buildings without proper fire safety measures and issued rules stating that licenses should not be granted to such buildings, and operations should not be permitted on those premises,” Venkatesh demanded.
“Despite these rules, violations continue unabated. Similarly, a restaurant in a high-rise building at Ratna Complex on MG Road is lacking fire safety measures. We have raised this issue and brought it to the attention of the BBMP by filing a complaint. Following this, they have issued a notice. It remain uncertain how proactive BBMP and the Fire Department will be in ensuring safety and implementing these measures effectively,” he maintained.
Earlier, in July, an FIR was registered towards One8 Commune for working previous the 1 a.m. deadline. The FIR said that the institution was open and serving prospects at 1.20 a.m., which exceeded the permissible time restrict.
