00:00In Ummadi Guntur district, there are 128 Seethala Goddams.
00:05Not only the local farmers, but also the farmers from different regions buy the chilli crop and grow it in their Goddams.
00:11When the crop is in good condition, or when they do not need cash, they sell the chilli.
00:16So, the Seethala Goddams should take a license from the marketing sector and renew it once every 5 years.
00:22With 2024 March, the license period for 105 Seethala Goddams is over.
00:27For the renewal of the license, the people who have applied since March-April do not get permission from the marketing sector.
00:33In the beginning, they showed the Ennikala code as a proof and now they are asking for a fire safety certificate.
00:37This is what the owners of the Goddams are saying.
00:40Even now, even if a fire accident occurs in 2006,
00:44they are still renewing the fire license and marketing license.
00:49They are giving new market licenses.
00:51All of a sudden, in April 2024,
00:56they said that they will renew the license only if there is a fire emergency.
01:01At that time, getting a fire license was of no use.
01:05According to the fire law, it is of no use to adjust the cold storage.
01:10Because, there should be an open space of 20 feet around them.
01:15According to the law of that time, they took approval from all the departments and built a cold storage.
01:20Now, if you want an extra site, it is not possible.
01:23According to the fire act, 50,000 liters of water should be stored on top.
01:30Now, the slabs are not allowed on top of the cold storage.
01:35Then, the sprinklers should be arranged.
01:38If the sprinklers are opened by mistake,
01:46and the stocks are damaged,
01:48the insurance department will not cover it and will return it.
01:54Then, the Andhra Pradesh government will recommend it.
01:59The sprinklers will not be of any use.
02:02If the carbon dioxide becomes CO2, there is a chance that the fire will stop.
02:08So, they sent us to issue a JIO on it.
02:12At present, there is a shortage of AC Godhams.
02:16Because of this, the marketing sector is not concerned about the cold Godhams.
02:20According to the fire safety law,
02:22even if the cold Godhams are arranged, there are many problems.
02:28The farmers protested that it is not right to restrict the license to the fire NOC.
02:35In the last 30 years, there has been a lot of cold storage.
02:41Now, we need a fire certificate for the Godhams.
02:45It is not available.
02:47When we build the Godhams,
02:49we need a fire certificate according to the structure.
02:54So, only the newly built Godhams will get a fire certificate.
02:59The license was not renewed.
03:02It was kept there with various barrels.
03:07There is no connection between the marketing ad and the fire service.
03:11The license is given by the marketing ad.
03:14There is no trading.
03:16So, they don't have any objection to give the license.
03:18They gave it in the past.
03:20Why is it not happening now when the license has been renewed for 30 years?
03:23What is the reason for this?
03:25That is why I said that it is necessary to think about it.
03:27Officials who are supposed to protect the benefits of the license
03:29are giving notices in the name of the NOC
03:31and raising doubts about the problems faced by the owners of the cold storage.
