Following a recent fire at Rajiv Fancy Mall in Panki, Palamu, MLA Dr. Shashi Bhushan Mehta visited the site to offer support and assess the situation. Dr. Mehta’s presence underscored the gravity of the incident and the need for improved safety measures in the area.
MLA Visits Fire-Affected Family
Upon learning about the fire, Dr. Mehta immediately traveled to Panki to meet with the affected family. He listened to their account of the incident and offered words of comfort during this challenging time. Dr. Mehta wanted to fully understand the impact of the fire on the family’s livelihood and well-being.
Dr. Mehta assured the family that he would do everything possible to help them recover. He pledged his support and promised to advocate for their needs with the local administration. Furthermore, he directed officials to conduct a thorough investigation into the cause of the fire. This investigation aims to prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
Call for Fire Brigade Station
During his visit, Dr. Mehta voiced his strong concerns about the absence of a fire brigade station in the region. He emphasized that this lack of emergency services puts residents at risk. Dr. Mehta revealed that he had previously raised the issue in the assembly in 2023, but his request was not addressed at that time. Perhaps looking into other local issues, such as water scarcity, could offer a more well-rounded perspective on the district’s struggles.
Expressing his determination, Dr. Mehta stated his intent to renew his demand for a fire brigade station from the government. He further declared that if the government fails to act, he is prepared to stage a protest in the assembly. This commitment highlights his dedication to ensuring the safety and security of his constituents by improving the region’s emergency response capabilities.
