Rajasthan Human Rights Commission Seeks Fire‑Safety Report Ahead of Jaipur Diwali Markets

The Rajasthan State Human Rights Commission has raised concerns over the preparedness of fire‑safety measures in Jaipur’s bustling markets ahead of the upcoming Diwali festival. In a formal notice, the commission asked the municipal authorities to submit a detailed report within three days outlining the availability of fire‑trucks, water sources, and other essential firefighting equipment. The request follows reports that several markets in the city have experienced small fires during previous Diwali celebrations, raising questions about the adequacy of emergency response infrastructure. The commission’s demand comes as the city prepares for the influx of shoppers and vendors expected during the festival season. Officials have yet to respond to the notice, and the commission has indicated that it will review the findings before recommending any further action.
