India Nightclub Fire Results in 25 Deaths, Including Tourists
A devastating fire at a nightclub in Goa, India, resulted in the deaths of at least 25 people, including several tourists. The incident occurred overnight on Saturday, with the fire believed to have started due to a gas cylinder explosion in the kitchen area. The majority of the victims died from suffocation, while a few succumbed to burns. The nightclub was hosting a Bollywood DJ event, attracting a large crowd. The narrow entry and exit points hindered rescue efforts, as firefighters had to park their vehicles a significant distance from the venue. The Chief Minister of Goa, Pramod Sawant, has ordered an inquiry into the incident, promising stringent action against any negligence.
