Gujarat Frames "Model Rules" To Regulate Gaming Zones After Rajkot Fire

Advocate General Kamal Trivedi informed the court that police commissioners will appoint such a committee for cities, and collectors will constitute the same at the district level.

The Gujarat government on Friday informed the high court that it has framed "model rules" to regulate amusement rides and gaming zones to prevent tragedies like the May 25 fire incident in Rajkot.

Besides obtaining regular licences and approvals such as fire NOCs and building use (BU) permissions from the police and civic authorities, game zone owners must get approval from Ride Safety and Inspection committees.

Advocate General Kamal Trivedi informed the court that police commissioners will appoint such a committee for cities, and collectors will constitute the same at the district level.
