HC Declares ‘Man-Made Disaster’

The Rajkot fire has been named a “man-made disaster” by the Gujarat High Court. According to a bench of Justices Biren Vaishnav and Devan Desai, these gaming areas and recreational facilities were constructed without the required permissions from the relevant authorities. The High Court also asked the state government and local corporations if the affected areas had been granted such licenses, including usage and compliance with fire safety regulations.
