The Mumbai Fire Brigade has served notices to 17 of 68 malls over the past one week after carrying out surprise inspections last month, a civic official said on Monday.

A BMC release said 48 of the 68 malls were found to be following fire safety norms during inspections held between May 26 and 30, while 17 malls have got notices for not adhering to these stipulations. The malls were inspected on BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani’s orders, following the massive fire in TRP Game Zone in Rajkot in neighbouring Gujarat on May 25, which resulted in the death of 28 people. The 17 malls have been issued notices under the Maharashtra Fire Prevention and Life Protection Measures Act 2006.
