The Gujarat High Court came down hard on the Rajkot municipal body Monday after it emerged two gaming zones in the city had been operating for over two years without the required permits. The court’s sharp reprimand comes after 28 people, including nine children, were killed in a fire.
“Have you gone blind? Did you fall asleep? Now we do not trust the local system and the state government,” the court raged after it was told the gaming centre in Rajkot had been built on unauthorised premises and that a hearing regarding fire safety had been on for four years.
