Assessment
The central claim is that the state’s fires are not isolated mishaps but a symptom of neglect, unsafe reuse of buildings and poor regulation. That reading is plausible from the examples cited, but it stays broad: the editorial does not show whether enforcement failures, building design, or political inaction is the main driver in each case.
Limits
It acknowledges that the new BJP government may be inheriting long-standing negligence, even as it criticises the party for making the fires mainly a political attack line against the TMC.
It also notes that heritage buildings can be preserved, but only with planning that fits present-day use, implying that conservation and safety are not incompatible if handled properly.
