HYDERABAD, Dec 1: Cantonment Board Hyderabad (CBH) was introducing a law whereby all the shopkeepers in its area will be required to install fire extinguisher in their shops and a fire brigade station was also being established in the board area.

Both these initiatives are part of the CBH’s Rs145.179 million development programme that would be executed by it in current and next fiscal year out of its own budgetary allocations.

The board would also modify rules regarding billboards and signboards in the wake of recent monsoon disaster in Karachi.

Details of programmes were unveiled by Cantonment Executive Officer (CEO) Rana Mohammad Rafiq Khan and Station Commander Brigadier Iftikharul Wahab at a briefing to a select gathering of cantonment’s residents.—Bureau
