The Aam Aadmi Party's Delhi President, Saurabh Bhardwaj, has called for 'firm action' against Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials following the Malviya Nagar fire incident in the national capital.
Bhardwaj claimed that the incident was not isolated and that firm action was required to prevent repeated fire incidents in the national capital.
A show-cause notice was issued to Dr Sanjay Sinha, the current District Health Officer (DHO) of the South Zone, on June 8, amid allegations that he was involved in the 2019 Hotel Arpit Palace fire incident that claimed 17 lives.
Bhardwaj alleged that Dr Sinha was responsible for the Arpit Hotel fire incident a few years back and that he should be sent to jail.
A departmental investigation is currently ongoing in the Malviya Nagar fire incident at a Delhi court amid a recent plea by an advocate to the Delhi High Court to take suo motu cognisance of the matter.
