It has been a year since the fire in the 61-storey 1 Avighna Park at Currey Road, but the city is still waiting for measures to avoid such incidents. The electrical audit policy for buildings is still stuck in red tape. The BMC has now made it mandatory to install IoT (Internet of Things)-based systems in upcoming buildings, but the fire-fighting status of existing towers is in limbo.
