New Delhi — Just when you thought your weekend plans were sorted — thumkas at Auro, cocktails at Bohca, and that unplanned after-party in a shady Hauz Khas loft — BOOM, the Delhi Fire Department has crashed the party with a fresh safety advisory. Aur bhaiya, this one’s strict enough to cancel your Saturday night before you even choose your outfit.
Too Hot to Handle (Literally)
Delhi’s fire department has issued a no-nonsense safety advisory to hotels, clubs, and entertainment hotspots across the city after a worrying rise in fire incidents. No more jugad lights hanging off drywall, or blocked exits near the DJ console — the babus have said, “Enough is enough!” They’re asking establishments to ensure proper fire exits, remove unauthorized structures, and maintain functional extinguishers and alarms.
Apparently, some joints have been playing with fire — quite literally — with unsafe interiors, overloaded kitchens, and rogue electrical setups. After a couple of close calls in the past few months, the department is now doing surprise checks and planning potential shutdowns if things aren’t fixed. The warning? Shape up or shut shop.
So, Will This Ruin Your Weekend?
Let’s get real, Dilliwale. If your weekend mantra is “Sofa, Shisha, Shots, Repeat,” you might want to call ahead before showing up in your Zara and Versace. Bars in CP, rooftops in South Ex, and lounges near Rajouri may face sudden inspections. And if the place hasn’t updated their fire NOC since Arijit was still doing Coke Studio, well… you’re heading home early tonight.
Jokes aside, it’s a move long overdue. Remember that *almost-* disaster in Karol Bagh last winter? Or the rooftop incident at a club near Nehru Place? This advisory might just save lives — even if it mildly harshes our buzz on Saturday nights.
📍 Spot Check: Be extra alert if you’re heading to hotspots in Connaught Place, Hauz Khas Village, or Saket’s multiple high-rises. Fire squads are likely to cruise these zones first.
The Final Word
Look, we love Delhi’s nightlife — but not enough to roast marshmallows over a short circuit in the DJ booth. If your favourite club gets a temporary shut-eye, let it. Better safe than sizzling, right?
