    As a mandatory rule , all shops and establishment / offices should have contact numbers displayed outside their shops / outlets / shutters / wall / display board etc . This will help passerby or Police personnel to quickly inform the concerned owner , to rush and attend such situation and also alert fire brigade personnel..
