PTI, Jul 8, 2024, 4:30 PM IST

Stating that the safety of people, staff, and patients is of paramount importance, the Delhi High Court has directed the authorities to constitute a joint committee to inspect the city’s several nursing homes regarding compliance with fire safety norms.

Justice Sanjeev Narula also requested a sub-committee constituted by the Delhi government in 2019 to review the status of nursing homes with respect to compliance with various laws, including fire prevention, to “promptly conclude” the deliberations and submit a final report to the court.

While dealing with a petition by an association of nursing homes, the court took into account the recent incidents of fire breakouts in nursing homes and lapses in fire safety compliance, saying the immediate priority is to ensure that the basic fire safety equipment is installed in such premises to keep people safe.
