The State authorities have stepped up fire safety measures at Brahmapuram, where a massive fire broke out on March 2 last year. It had taken more than a fortnight to bring the fire that had broken out at the waste dumping yard under control. The civic body had come under severe criticism for its failure to ensure fire safety measures on the campus.
Last week, the State government convened a meeting to review the fire safety measures at Brahmapuram. Industries Minister P. Rajeeve, who convened the meeting, reviewed the progress of work on Tuesday.
The road running through the campus would be completed in a week, the Kochi Corporation authorities informed the meeting. Fire tenders were operated through interior roads to identify the areas where the roads had to be strengthened further, they added.
