Regent Plaza negligence

Letter December 12, 2016
Being a strict procedure, everybody is forced to maintain a standard

LAHORE: The people who died and their families have suffered due to the negligence of Regent Plaza Hotel. The hotel management had been informed to revamp the electrical system as it had been obsolete.

In foreign countries, if one starts a business, he needs to install a properly checked fire extinguisher system for an emergency situation,and he needs to get it checked every year. If the government fire department finds it damaged or of substandard, they cancel their licenses straight away. Being a strict procedure, everybody is forced to maintain a standard, and hence, save people’s lives from perishing in a calamity.
