Will Hyderabad have its historic Numayish or industrial exhibition on time this time? The High Court of Telangana appears determined to ensure that every safety measure is in place before the start of the exhibition and has said that if the arrangements are not satisfactory, then the exhibition should be postponed.
It has said in very clear terms that it is not satisfied by the NOCs given by departments such as fire, disaster management, electricity, GHMC, water works, Health and town planning. It said that they should give permissions only after inspecting the site. "Human lives are more important than the exhibition," the High Court has said. It said that the encroachments on the footpaths leading to the exhibition should be removed before the start of the exhibition. The argument that there was fire mishap only once in the 80 year history of the exhibition did not cut much ice with the High Court.
It said that it would not allow the exhibition if the safety measures were not taken. This has put a big question mark over the timely start of the exhibition this year. The court was hearing a petition filed by lawyer Aizajuddin.
