Telangana Softens Fire NOC Rules for Schools
The Telangana Fire, Disaster Response, Emergency Services and Civil Defence Department issued revised guidelines on November 4, easing fire NOC requirements for schools while maintaining strict safety checks for certain other institutions. Schools can now obtain NOC more quickly, but must still follow basic fire safety protocols and periodic inspections to ensure compliance.
The state government has updated its fire NOC rules for schools, simplifying the approval process while keeping essential safety measures in place.
- Eased procedures: Schools no longer need extensive documentation to get a fire NOC, reducing waiting times.
- Remaining obligations: Institutions must still conduct regular fire drills, maintain clear evacuation routes, and allow inspections.
- Other institutions: Colleges, hospitals and large public venues continue to follow the stricter original guidelines.
