KMC move: Rooftop restos may open ahead of Durga Puja; fire-safety rules mandatory
Thursday, 28 August 2025 () Kolkata's rooftop restaurants, closed for four months, may reopen before Durga Puja with new fire-safety SOPs. Establishments must comply by September 15th, with audits following in three months, and non-compliant ones facing closure. The new rules mandate open refuge spaces, clear staircases, and prohibit inflammable materials and open-fire cooking, while banning future terrace sales and new rooftop restaurant approvals.
