A serious safety concern has emerged regarding Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) projects, as reports reveal over 55 residential and commercial complexes lack valid fire safety certificates. Despite mandatory legal requirements for obtaining No Objection Certificates (NOC) from the fire department before construction and occupancy, BDA has allegedly issued Occupancy Certificates without compliance. This violation of safety norms poses a severe risk to residents and visitors, highlighted by recent fatal fire incidents in the city. While experts point to open violations of Supreme Court orders, BDA officials have reportedly evaded addressing the issue directly. https://sambad.in/metro/fire-scare-for-bda-project-11870583 #creator program
