The state government has directed police to lodge FIRs against owners of illegal gaming zones operating without necessary permits or licences. Inspections in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and Rajkot have led to closures of unlicensed establishments. Recent incidents in Rajkot have prompted urgent safety sweeps at gaming zones across multiple cities.
In response to the Rajkot game zone fire tragedy, which claimed 27 lives, Gujarat Police have launched a crackdown on illegal game zones. Minister Harsh Sanghavi directed police to register FIRs against facilities operating without proper fire and safety licenses. Multiple illegal game zones in Rajkot, Ahmedabad, and Surat have been sealed.
