Hyderabad: Fire safety inspections by Hydraa officials continued for the second day on Friday, with GHMC, Fire and TGSPDCL officials joining the drive and taking action against six furniture shops for not adhering to fire regulations.

According to a press release, these places had storage of chemical and paint cans, with the surroundings filled with furniture manufacturing materials.
