Although currently there are no casualties, but the clip of someone jumping off the building to save themselves still haunts me. They are currently in critical condition and I hope they recover completely.
It is starting to appear that rapid growth is becoming a duel edged sword. Yesterday's incident is a stark reminder that development and safety need to go hand in hand.
What is the opinion of others on the platform. There have been other fire related incidents in other metro-cities as well.
Development, in no way, requires a lack of safety. Cheap and/or quick development does.
Much of the safety measures required by regulations and OSHA are often ignored to cut corners. They're also able to get away with this due to political jack or kickbacks. There are watchdogs to prevent this but who will watch the watchdogs?
@AITookMyJob Exactly, it appears that all that capital that has flowed into this city is being used in the wrong way.
Like seriously? This is pure bullcrap on the behalf of these idiots masquerading as watchdogs.
Cost cutting is India's curse. There is no value for human life. So safety is always compromised. Nothing surprising in this incident. Few years back we had belandur lake on fire. Nothing surprises me anymore in India.
@Qwerty2398 Exactly. Very painful in my opinion.
Please don’t say rampant development in Bangalore. Specially in Koramangala, where a flyover work has been stalled for years now
What do you think about infrastructure of Banglore with thoughts of yesterday's incident ?
Is it good or too bad Or just underpass should get closed ?

Just visited Mumbai last weekend, it has somehow gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Every 3rd or 4th road is either under construction or unusable.
This girl from bumble legit defended Mumbai being safer than other metros literally ...
So true . Mumbai and Bangalore are equally bad. Just the problems are different but the headache isbthe same.
