Since this Pub offers live entertainment there is a sizeable crowd present in the Pub. The Fire Department ignored to check if the Pub has adequate Fire Extinguishing Equipments. They also ignored to check if the owners of the Pub had followed all the rules and regulations while constructing the building. Sources said that when the fire broke out there was no fire exit in the premises.
What is really interesting is the fact that the owner tried to downplay the entire incident of fire and told the reporters that no incident of fire has occurred. In order to cover-up the fact that he is illegally running a Dance Bar in the name of Pub and if the news of Fire spreads, the customers may cease from coming to the bar made him totally deny of a fire incident. Even the Fire Department at Hingna tried to evade answering the questions, which proved there inefficiency in verifying facts before giving permission to run a Pub.
