Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani Friday ordered a fire safety audit of schools, colleges and coaching centres following a massive blaze which engulfed a four-storey commercial complex in Sarthana here, killing at least 20 teenage students, many of whom jumped and fell to their deaths while some were suffocated.
Visiting the site of the tragedy, Rupani said the audit would find out if educational establishments in the state have proper equipment and facilities to deal with fire incidents.
He said the fire audit would also cover hospitals, malls and other commercial buildings of major cities and towns in the state.
