Mock drill lapses responsible for woman's death: Karnataka fire department chief

"But what we will do now is that we shall look into our safety operating procedures and make our mock fire drills more secure, " he added. - He is saying it so casually! No, what should really happen now is that you/your team should be punished severely for your negligence.

merely expressing regret for the unfortunate event will not be enough. A case must be registered for negligence and the accident probed impartially to find the guilt and due punishment mated out to set an example for future such events.

No doubt the fire saftey department has to take the responsibility when they cannot save a person falling during the mock drill guess their capabilities during real life situations it a pitty it happens in the e-city of india

The officer incharge should be held for manslaughter.

Human life is cheap and has no value in India. Can we ever have confidence in our disaster management agencies/systems after this shocking incident?

Feel pity for the illfated woman who lost her life during a mock drill.It has been hyped that mock drills are conducted to train people to handle issues during an emergency.But, the officials who organise such mock drills are very much keen to perform their office routine than of taking percautionary meausres to prevent any such incident that happened in the out skirts of Bangalore. Lost is lost and that cannot be regainned or compensated.At least let the officials be cautious here after.

fire safety department is playing with lives of innocent people... really sad.....

If deaths occur during drill imagine what will happen during real fire. No One to Blame? Rubbish. It is the fire depptt to blame who had no plans to rescue if the rope snaps. This is death due to negligence and has to be taken very seriously. One may die in sports but these drills are suppopsed to prevent death not cause death. This is CRIMINAL.

wat for mocking was about!! killing peoples!! when real thing will happpen most will still die.. its just they have added one more to the list!! crap peoples!! nothing will stand in frnt of nature!! nd most who know how to survive will get there way through.. so wat fr this crap exercise........happpens.. but..as mock drills.... sucks..

Bangalore police, like even our anti terror security organisation, is ill equipped and has untrained staff only who joined some special allowances for doing so. They would do a good job if they get training from foreign counterparts who have accumulated a lot of experience in this specialised function. But the bureaucrats , minister, and others concerned simply seem to have had no proper appreciation of what it takes to provide training to personnel and institute effective organisation for fire fighting and mock drills. Last but not least, the family which depended on the earning of this unfortunate victim of braindead group of organisers' foolishness, should be adequately compensated for, with job and payment, in consultation with social workers who will not be influenced by politicians, etc.

Sad Indeed ! The fire department must own for this serious lapse & loss of life.
Fire Dept must come out with a preventive action in place so thatsuch serious lapse do NOT occur again - A.Sukumar

This is murder caused by negligence, someone has to be answerable, the rope could have been assesed by the fire department but they ignored, the shame of this country is that 120 crore citizens will quiely see this forgotten in a couple of days as usual and people who are not fit to be working in the post they occupy will cause death due to ignorance and negligence.

What is surprising in this. we are careless, indifferent, negligent, apathetic But Naatakbaj, makkar in inside of us, Why blame Luck and God for our Kukarms. If some one points defects/shortcomings, s/he becomes traitor, bad man. Examples are Mr.TN Seshan, Khairnar, few more

really sad incident. May god give courage to her near and dear ones

Mock drill is organized periodically by safety department to make aware of the people/employees; what to do and what not to do at the time of miss happening. And also to check soundness of Ambulance, Fire tenders and equipments. Synchronies and develop understanding between medical service, fire tender service and safety department. But the participants should be from concerned department only. What was happened was unfortunate. It is not disclosed but Nalini must be from the fire safety department.

Such matters are common, casual in india.
deficit governance in all fields is being criticiesed, however unfortunately no result, no effect.

Very sad that the mock drill has taken a precious life. Heartfelt condolence to the family. However it should be an eye opener to all places where mock drills are conducted and ropes are used. Lapses and casual approach only leads to such tragedies. Government should fix correct guidelines and make people accountable.

All aids and equipments of fire drills should of international standard.Express my sympathy to her family members.

The big question is:
Why the fire department people didn't descend from rope in Mock drill?
Why did they request ordinary public to involved in this Mock drill?

Is it like they want to learn everything practically, use some common sense Fire Brigade !!

Poor Lady..... Lost her life for the welfare of others....
