Currently, the construction sector has expanded tremendously across the country, due to the scarcity of space, builders are focusing more on building tall towers and complexes of high rise buildings. Creating these complexes and townships that meet the changing needs and aspirations of today’s consumers is a huge challenge; It requires vision, planning, willingness to take on huge responsibilities and most importantly, strong and reliable support! The most important thing in this is electrical safety and ‘lift’ i.e. evacuation. Misconceptions about elevators in buildings. On this topic on Sunday 4th September 2022 at around 7 PM Prakash Patil, an elevator safety officer with 22 years of experience, gave invaluable guidance to the people of Exerbia Abod.

Meanwhile, Prakash Patil was speaking.

Various employment opportunities, educational facilities, arts, sports and other cultural opportunities are attracting more and more people from rural India to cities. To cater to this population, the urban administration needs to create more and more systems for electricity, water, roads, drainage, sewage, waste management. For this, if the industrialists of the city give him a helping hand along with the government system, this progress will be faster.
