The Indore Municipal Corporation sealed four commercial premises, including two banks, a clinic, a gym and a play school, after finding major fire‑safety violations.
The Indore Municipal Corporation has ordered the sealing of four commercial premises after fire‑safety inspections uncovered serious shortcomings. The action targets two bank branches – State Bank of India and Axis Bank – along with a medical clinic, a fitness gym and a play school that operate in the city centre.
Inspectors reported that the buildings lacked essential fire‑prevention equipment, had obstructed escape routes and displayed non‑functional alarm systems. Daily footfall in these facilities runs into several hundred people, raising concerns about public safety.
The municipal authority has barred entry to the premises until the owners rectify the violations and obtain the required fire‑safety clearances. Officials warned that failure to comply could attract further penalties under the state’s fire‑code regulations.
The sealing is expected to disrupt routine activities for employees, patients, gym members and children attending the play school, prompting the affected institutions to seek rapid remedial action.
