Anil, could you please point me to the source of the story cited above “Many years ago, there was a big fire at a five-star hotel (J. P. Hotel) in upscale Vasant Vihar. So many people died. But the Japanese and Americans guests at the hotel survived. Why? Because they put wet towels under the doors so that no smoke enters their rooms. They put wet handkerchiefs on their faces and lay on floor, and the smoke moved up. Most deaths are caused because of smoke, not fire. All the Indians in the building jumped out of their windows and died. The critical difference has to do with training.”
The fault is at all levels. Even if the design engineer takes care of all such aspects, the owner does not want to implement it because it is “only” cost addition for him. And for a few dollars more, much less than what is needed to execute the proper design, approvals can be obtained. Unfortunately, everybody , including the firebrand journalists, are only interested in finding scapegoats, instead of looking at the problem holistically. There is no atmosphere in India where respect for human life can sprout and grow. A man fell into the tiger pit, both in the west and in India. In the west they shot the tiger and saved the man. In India there were procedural issues to shoot the tiger, and so the tiger killed the man. Need we say more.

for doing all this we need good designers, for that we need good education in schools and colleges which is not available as Indians only rote learn
The Upahaar cinema fire tragedy should have sensitised us as a nation to this problem.
