Major fire accident in Goa

A tragic fire accident in Goa claimed the lives of 23 people, prompting Chief Minister Pramod Sawant to personally visit the incident site and review the situation. He sought detailed information from officials regarding the cause of the accident and possible safety lapses inside the club. “A thorough investigation will be conducted. It is extremely unfortunate that 23 people, including three women and four tourists, have died. Preliminary information suggests the club failed to follow basic safety rules. Strict action will be taken against those responsible,” the CM stated. According to the police, the incident occurred around midnight at ‘Birch by Romeo Lane’, a club near Baga Beach.

He instructed officials to initiate a detailed probe through a special investigation team.
