Abhijeet Kadwe moved out of a Glasgow flat complex after learning it had the same cladding as Grenfell.
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland's"It was only because I was really anxious and worried about the fire safety issue in the building. I was concerned about my family's safety more than anything else - with two young kids I thought that was a wise thing to do."
In December the Scottish government received a fire engineer's safety report which recommended a "waking watch" be put in place at the Lancefield Quay flats. The Scottish government said residents would have 24-hour protection from the team of fire experts, with the aim of giving residents early warning if a fire breaks out."That is only a temporary solution," he said. "Even with the waking watch being here, the risk has not gone away. All it means is that we are better prepared for it.
"Everybody else is stuck in a similar situation as me. They want to sell their houses and move out but they can't. At the same time it's the financial turmoil they're in as well as the mental trauma."Miller Homes said it had "engaged consistently and transparently" with the Scottish government, the fire service, surveyors and the property factor.
