Fire accident in Saravana stores!!!(Vessels) one of the most famous shopping landmark in chennai.Situated in the crowded narrow lane called Ranganathan Street
in T.Nagar(proved to be THEE NAGAR).,ie Thyagaraja Nagar..THEE means fire in tamil.
Saravanan stores has the same theme like Wal Mart in US..having the largest collection of Low cost home appliances under one roof.
This fire accident happened on the early morning on 1st september, killing two of its employees, damaging millions worth of goods, more than 63 lorries of water been poured to stop the fire and prevent it from spreading to the nearby shops.
The latest news about the accident is that it happend by Leakage of HIGH VOLTAGE CURRENT.
After chennai Moore market fire,this is the first big fire accident occurred in chennai
Narrow passage, very less safety measures are the root cause of these accidents, luckily the fire didnt caught up at the peak hours! Now,this hint has to be understood and proper action needs to be taken to avoid such incidents in future. All Shopping malls,theatres(especialy satyam theatre which I have written in my first blog)needs to taken proper care as this is where the crowd is !!!

yes.. i was in chennai and i saw the fire brigade in action...
Oh ic...but has this issue reduced the crowd in ranganathan st?
i am told that this is building is unauthorised construction. many in the same street do not have permission to construct 2nd floor. the chennai government is totally blind. they do not learn lessons, i can bet it would repeat in some other shop and it would be difficult for the fire tenders to reach and save people.
Its realy bad if this building is been build without proper permission..who is going to correct all this? Some strong action needs to be taken.
The cause of the fire is alleged to have been the short circuit and damages are yet to be assessed. Till the time of going to the press the fire has not been doused yet.
