When contacted, MC zonal commissioner Neeraj Jain said, "We have installed fire extinguishers at zonal offices, so there is no need for the NOC. The fire brigade had even served notices to a few establishments, but even then MC did not bother to get NOC for itself. In March 2022, the MC had also issued a public notice where people were given a month to get fire NOC. In other zones too, there is hardly any escape plan in case of any emergency. The incident was brought under control, but officials did not learn any lesson. In 2019, a fire incident took place in this building. In zone A building of MC, single exit door is open for the public while other two small gates remain locked most of the time. He said in the absence of fire safety and prevention act, the fire brigade cannot serve the notice to anybody. Requesting anonymity, a fire official claimed that they had got fire extinguishers installed at the MC offices with a great difficulty, but could not ask the departments for the NOC because they did not have the authority to do the same. Microsoft today announced that its Outlook app for Mac is now free to use, eliminating the need for a Microsoft 365 subscription or license. Fire officials are hesitant to ask MC to get fire NOC as they are still drawing salaries from MC even when a separate fire directorate has been established. MC officials had claimed to get NOC from the fire brigade in 2017 following the fire and building collapse incident at Amarson polymers, but till date they did not approach the fire wing for the same.
