KIND ATTENTION
During our visit, we observed widespread running cracks on the basement 2 ceiling /
basement 1 floor at above the pump room & multiple other locations. The cracks are
visible at both above & beneath RCC floor at the basement. In addition, we observed
repairs works are carried out on the cracks of RCC floor with water sealants & concrete
injections fillings across the cracks to stop water seepage.
Even though after the repairs, in some areas of the basement we observed the existing
cracks are prima facie indicating further developments, where there regular vehicle
movement exists in the 01st basement floor. Hence, we anticipate the weakening of
structural strength at the basement over a period. The basement area requires
immediate detailed technical inspection for the structural strength & appropriate
structural support works for the RCC floor by competent & approved structural
contractors.

its knobs and we suggest removing all the caps over the knobs of hood suppression
system for its appropriate functioning.
4. Arrange to supply adequate repairs to the cracked wall structure of the LPG tank.
