“The All India Safety Department is also of the opinion that the petrol pumps should have fire hydrants as additional safety measures. Pump owners should have a well in its premises and use the water for the fire hydrants,” said Menon.
“Sharawan Kumar of Bharat Petroleum, who was down in Goa, was also of the opinion that the petrol pumps should have fire hydrants at its location as added safety measures.
