Should the Builder of my building to install a Lightning Conductor after my building got hit by Ligh

I live in Nasik Maharashtra India. Nasik has a history of thunder-storms and Lightning Strikes in the start of pre-monsoons (first few rains of the season). Last month my building got hit by Lightning and the corner of the roof parapet wall was totally destroyed. In total 10 people (including 4 members of my family) of our building miraculously escaped death that day when there was a shower of rubble from the roof (6th floor) of the building.

Is there any way I / My building society can pressurise the builder and / or the town planner to erect a lightning arrestor on our building.

Our Building is of ground + 5 Floors is there any other security equipment required on such tall building. Is there any website where i can see the rules and regulations of buildings and safety procedures to be provided by the builder in case of fire, lightning or any other eventuality.

Should the Builder of my building to install a Lightning Conductor after my building got hit by Lightning.?

I think it%26#039;s up to the landlord, not the builder..if YOU own the property, then it%26#039;s YOUR responsibilty to install a lightning conductor .. but if you are renting, then you have a case to make sure the owner gets it sorted, otherwise you should get the town planner involved

take care and be safe

I don%26#039;t know what the legalities are there for this. You can ask, but it remains to be seen if they%26#039;ll do it.

You can get sergers for things like the PC and other plug ins. Or, make sure your insurance covers everything you own.

Other Replys:I would say that lightning equipment would be an option. If it wasn%26#039;t shown on the plans, then you%26#039;ll have to pay for the installation.

Other Replys:If it is not in your contract then he is not responsible. If you knew your area is susceptible to lightening then why did you not have it done at the time of completion? You could take it up with your zoning/planning board, take your contract with you. Lots of luck.

Other Replys:Find or locate an Electrical or Civil Engineer in your area and ask them about what kind of grounding and lightening protection your biulding should have. They pretty much know all the biulding codes for your area, and will usually answer you question at no charge. Most engineers can also help you(r) building or whoever the owner may be, get funding to install the protection needed.
