Complex to get world-class temperature control and fire alarm system

The Akshardham temple complex in east Delhi may soon become the most fire-safe place in the city. The authorities there have decided to upgrade the fire-fighting system of the temple.

As reported by MiD DAY on July 9, a fire had broken out in the main temple last month, damaging six statues, including Lord Swaminarayan's 10-feet-high idol. The temple has been closed till Diwali for restoration.






Meanwhile, the Delhi Fire Department said the temple has 'impressive' safety and security mechanism and also the mandatory fire safety clearance. "It was an accident that can occur anywhere. Otherwise, they have got the best systems," said Deputy Chief Fire Officer (east and south zone), Santokh Singh.
