CCTV camera information should be shared with concerned local administration and law enforcement agencies as necessary.
In those markets where there is insufficient space but a large number of people, measures should be taken to install smoke detectors to prevent fire.
The certification of the concerned authority should be confirmed by verifying whether the electricity and gas and other utility connections in the markets are correct and safe.
Market shops and godowns having chemicals and flammable materials or chemical factories should be shifted to safe places as soon as possible.
Adequate fire extinguishers should be maintained in all markets and adequate water fire hydrants should be installed.
Adequate light and air movement should be ensured in the markets.
In markets where central air conditioning systems or air coolers are in place, necessary measures should be taken to ensure that they are adequate, effective and functional.
