"Most systems are in place, but there are some issues that need to be fixed promptly. These include clearance of exit routes, proper maintenance of fire extinguishers, and installation of additional fire detection equipment in certain blocks," he said. Earlier this week, he also inspected the arrangements at Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGIMS).
