Now that many Bengalureans are working from home, the citizen group Beyond Carlton has launched a campaign for residents to check the fire safety of their homes.
For a population of over one crore, Bengaluru has only two hospitals that have a specialised burns unit. On Saturday, Beyond Carlton collective appealed to the government to set up such units in government hospitals across the state.
Many areas in the city will be covered by piped gas supply soon. What does this mean for fire safety? What can happen in case of leak, and how to be prepared?
