Udupi, May 08, 2026: In response to the increasing number of fire accidents within its jurisdiction, the Udupi City Municipal Council (CMC) has issued a set of mandatory safety guidelines for commercial complexes, residential apartments, hospitals, and industries.

Safety Measures:

The CMC Commissioner highlighted that the rising summer temperatures have increased the risk of fire outbreaks. Consequently, all business establishments, including scrap shops and warehouses storing chemicals or flammable materials, must install functional fire extinguishers and implement robust fire safety protocols immediately.

Training Requirements:

The directive also emphasizes that owners must provide fire safety training to their employees. Staff should be well-equipped to handle emergency situations and utilize firefighting equipment effectively to prevent major losses. The municipality has warned that failure to comply with these safety norms could lead to serious risks as daily fire-related incidents continue to be reported in the city.
