On Tuesday, the Fire and Rescue Services Department provided a certificate without an object (night) over measures against fire safety installed in surgical super-specificity, accident and block of emergency care Faculty of Medicine, Kozhikode, which was temporarily closed after two focus fires in May.
This comes the day after the fire brigade officials involved an escape into the underground water pipes of the building and installed a new pipeline and fire hydrant. According to sources, the pressure in the fire line should not fall below a certain level for automatic operation during fire focus. However, the pressure in the line allegedly dropped below the specified level quite often, which led to a failure of its engine at regular intervals. Fire forces officials reportedly lasted about two weeks to engage the leak into underground water pipes, which led to the pressure level to fall below a specific point. The State Electric Inspectorate had previously gave his night for the operation of the electrical system on the ground floor and the first, second, third and fourth floors.
It is now expected that the Technical Committee, including officials from various departments led by the district collector, will review these reports and propose in the coming days to open the re -opening of the building under Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Surraksha Yojana (PMssy). However, the sources of the hospital indicated that the state health department would be final. The hospital authorities previously planned to complete all formalities and restore victims in the building by the end of July. Later, the schedule was extended to the initial August weeks. However, the officials apparently took some time to involve the leak into underground water pipes.
