The chief electrical inspector, said, “MSBs found having defects are given time to have them fixed. We are inspecting all MSBs for the safety of the people residing in the building, who need to abide by the laws for their own good.”
One of the senior officials said, “Many buildings are violating norms. During our periodical inspections, we found most buildings did not adhere to the relevant safety codes and standards. So, we inform them to get the rectifications within a certain time. After an inspection, we seek a fee as inspection charge that is based on the number of blocks, lifts and generators in the apartment complex.
