In a major enforcement drive in Greater Noida, authorities have ordered the closure of eight gyms and swimming pools after inspections revealed serious violations of safety and operational norms.A technical inspection committee has been conducting continuous checks across the district, and so far, 30 facilities have been inspected. Officials confirmed that 8 were found non-compliant, leading to immediate closure orders and notices.
Names Not Disclosed Yet, More Action Likely
Authorities have not yet released the names of the affected gyms and swimming pools, but officials indicated that further action may follow as the inspection drive continues.
The sealed facilities will remain shut until they:
●Submit a detailed compliance report
●Meet all mandatory safety and operational standards
Only after verification will reopening be allowed.
Major Safety Violations Found in Pools and Gyms
The inspection revealed serious gaps in safety infrastructure. In several swimming pools, basic requirements such as CCTV surveillance, trained instructors, emergency medical equipment, and certified water quality checks were missing.
Officials emphasized that swimming pools must have:
●Proper safety certification
●Disaster management plans
●Oxygen cylinders and rescue equipment
●Fire safety clearance
●Water treatment systems and pH reports
Failure to comply with these norms can pose direct risks to public safety.
Gym Facilities Also Under Scanner
Gyms were also found violating key norms. Several facilities lacked:
●Fire safety certificates
●Trained instructors
●Proper documentation of equipment
●Emergency preparedness systems
Authorities also reiterated that sale of medicines or supplements inside gyms is not permitted, and strict action will be taken against violators.
Zero Tolerance Policy on Public Safety
Officials have made it clear that this is just the beginning. The inspection drive is ongoing, and more facilities are expected to be checked in the coming days.
The administration’s message is clear —
no compromise will be made when it comes to public safety.
