At least 23 people have died in a massive fire at a restaurant-club in the Indian state of Goa. This was reported by the state's chief minister, Pramod Sawant, according to UNN, citing Reuters news agency and The Guardian.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

It is noted that the flames suddenly erupted around noon on Saturday, December 6, at the establishment located in the Arpora area.<\/p>\n

\n

Today is a very difficult day for all of us in Goa. A large fire in Arpora claimed the lives of 23 people<\/p>\n

– wrote Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant in his blog on X.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the police, the fire spread so quickly that many visitors did not have time to evacuate.<\/p>\n

Local authorities have already launched an official investigation into the causes of the tragedy. The state's chief minister, in a statement on the X platform, assured that the government would provide all necessary support to the victims and the families of the deceased.<\/p>\n

\n

I visited the scene and ordered an investigation. Those responsible will be held to the strictest account under the law. Any negligence will be severely punished<\/p>\n

– stated Pramod Sawant.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He also told reporters at the scene that "three to four" tourists had died. Three of them died from burns, the others from suffocation.<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian, fires in India are a common occurrence due to inadequate building codes, overcrowding, and non-compliance with safety regulations.<\/p>\n

A passenger bus in India caught fire after colliding with a motorcycle, killing at least 25 people and injuring several others. The accident occurred on a highway near Kurnool when a motorcycle crashed into the rear of the bus, causing sparks that engulfed the fuel tank.<\/p>\n
