The national capital, Delhi, was once again shrouded in a blanket of smog on Sunday morning. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), the average Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi reached 303 at 9 am, falling into the ‘very poor’ category. Although there was a slight improvement compared to the past few weeks, many parts of the city remained enveloped in toxic smog.
A massive fire broke out late at night at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in the Arpora area of Goa, killing 25 people. The deceased include foreign tourists and club staff. Many people were unable to escape after the fire started, resulting in their deaths from smoke inhalation. Seven people were injured, one of whom is in critical condition.
The initial investigation revealed that the club did not comply with fire safety regulations. There was only one entry and exit point, preventing people from escaping when the fire broke out. Ventilation, emergency exits, and alarm systems were found to be inadequate. A joint team of police and fire department officials is conducting the investigation. Initial indications suggest the fire may have originated in the kitchen or electrical section, but the cause will only be confirmed after the report is released.

Now, in light of this serious situation, the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, Tourism, and Civil Aviation has taken a strong stance. The committee has indicated that it will soon summon all airlines, top officials of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, and the DGCA to investigate the real reasons behind this crisis and any negligence involved.
A massive fire broke out late Thursday night at the popular Birq nightclub in the Arpora area of Goa, killing 25 people. The incident occurred when the club was crowded with people attending a DJ and dancer performance. The sudden fire and loud explosion gave people no time to react.
