The Gujarat High Court strongly chastised the Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) on Monday for the game zone fire that claimed 27 lives, saying it had lost faith in the state machinery, which acts only after lives are lost.
The special bench of Justices Biren Vaishnav and Devan Desai, hearing a suo motu PIL on the Rajkot game zone fire, questioned whether the RMC had overlooked the building of the TRP game zone because it had not obtained the appropriate approvals. The court ordered that all Rajkot municipal commissioners from 2021 to the present be held accountable and submit separate affidavits, reported PTI.
