Agra. Raising questions regarding the administrative machinery following the fire incident that occurred at the Sessions Court premises on Monday, Advocate Saroj Yadav stated that no concrete measures are currently in place to prevent such accidents. She pointed out that waste and refuse within the court premises are not being disposed of in a timely manner, and overflowing dustbins can frequently be observed throughout the entire complex.

Saroj Yadav mentioned that she had previously submitted a memorandum to the judicial administration, demanding the imposition of a strict ban on smoking within the Civil Court premises; however, absolutely no seriousness was demonstrated in addressing this issue. She emphasized that employees must be provided with proper fire-fighting training, and it is imperative to maintain a well-organized system of fire extinguishers, adequate water supply, hydrants, and hose pipes to combat fires within the premises—a matter that requires serious attention in the public interest. She asserted that Monday's fire incident was a direct consequence of the mismanagement regarding waste disposal and fire safety within the premises. She has demanded a high-level inquiry into this administrative failure and called for strict action against those responsible for the negligence.
