Noida IS well on its way to become a city of high-rises like Gurgaon. This township, too, lacks facilities to deal with fire accidents. Most of the fire-fighting systems installed in institutional, commercial and residential areas are either inoperative, or poorly maintained.
Noida Malls, hospitals, and multi-storeyed residential complexes have poor fire safety and smoke extraction measures. Most do not even have trained staff to operate fire extinguishers, fire officials say.
Fire Officer Abhay Bhan Pandey told Hindustan Times, Noida has been declared a no height freeze zone and in the near future, high-rises of 100 to 150 meters will be built. But the Noida Fire Department lacks facilities for coping with fires in high-rises. We just have an 11-metre hydraulic ladder, which is insufficient to cope with fires even in 30 to 35-meter buildings.

The Marathas lost both —the battle and the war. All that remains of that day —September 11,1803—is a commemorative monument, built by the British in
