Indian fire tragedy was preventable Letter Published in The National Uae on 1 March 13.
I was saddened by the tragedy in Kolkata (Fire claims 19 lives in poorly maintained market building, February 28).
Along with the deaths, many people were injured in the blaze, which was reportedly caused by faulty wiring.
Too many fires and other accidents these days are attributable to a lack of compliance with basic safety standards.
Nobody can compensate for the human loss after the event, but action can be taken to ensure such incidents do not occur.
Authorities everywhere should monitor premises and take stern action if legal requirements are not met.
