HYDERABAD
Pained by the September 12 fire accident at a city hotel that claimed eight lives, a former Indian Air Force personnel has come forward to install fire safety equipment in a gated community by reaching into his own pocket.
A former Junior Warrant Officer in the IAF, Sushil Kumar Tyagi donated 60 fire extinguishers to the Mahalaxmi’s Sai Srinivasam Apartment in Retreat Colony of Old Alwal. Although the gated community housing 155 flats with close to 800 residents has fire safety equipment as per the norms prescribed by the Telangana State Disaster Response and Fire Services, Mr. Tyagi decided to ensure that each of the five floors and the vantage places in the complex was covered by additional fire extinguishers for the safety of occupants.
