The committee that was formed to investigate the Goregaon SRA building fire that claimed eight lives and injured more than 50 people has submitted a report and made safety recommendations for the future, but it didn’t point out any flaws in the structure of the building. The report mentioned that the committee received only primary reports from the fire brigade, police and public works department in this matter and that the relevant authorities will take necessary action at their level after an investigation.

In the report, the committee has suggested increasing the current three-year liability period to 10 years in the case of SRA buildings. It also recommended that the developer should provide more common open space and more than one staircase on each floor of the building. According to a release issued by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the committee has proposed 15 measures for the prevention of fire incidents in the future.
