KOCHI: Even while incidents of fire occur in industrial areas in Kochi frequently, a proposal to set up a ‘ring main unit’ in Eloor-Aluva industrial belt is pending as the government is yet to give its approval.
The ring main unit consists of hydrants and a water pipeline network which passes through the industrial belt and once it becomes a reality, industrial units can put out fires on their own without waiting for firefighters from the fire and rescue services department to arrive.
