PANCHKULA: Members of the House Owner Welfare Association (HOWA) have demanded a fire tender with hydraulic ladder for public safety. There are over 200 high rise buildings but only one hydraulic fire tender with its sensors out of order.
Association members said they raised the issue of the hydraulic ladder during a meeting with Haryana Assembly speaker Gian Chand Gupta. Residents said that they informed Gupta about the poor condition of the hydraulic ladder fire tender with the fire station and demanded a new one.
Association chairman Bharat Hiteshi said that the Panchkula administration bought an old Hydraulic ladder fire tender from Faridabad in February 2018, but it was hardly used as its sensors were frequently out of order.
