Operation against factories without equipments to fight fire-hazards will start from Monday (today) in four districts including Rawalpindi, Chakwal, Jhelum and Attock. The operation is being conducted on the special directives of Commissioner Rawalpindi. Sources said action would be taken against all the factories, mills, plazas, and CNG stations, which were operating without fire extinguishers, close-circuit cameras, and emergency-exit points. Special teams have been constituted to materialize the plan, according to which the factories lacking such facilities will be challaned, and cases will be registered. It merits mentioning here that certain factories without adequate anti-fire infrastructure were issued notices inviting them to take relevant steps till October 13.
