25 Dead in Goa Club Fire
A very sad accident happened at a club in Goa, India.
A fire started late at night, and 25 people lost their lives.
Most of the people who died were workers at the club, and their bodies were found in the kitchen area.
Rescue teams worked all night to help anyone who might be hurt.
The club is in a popular beach area called Arpora.
No one knows yet what caused the fire, but the government is investigating and promising to take strict action if anyone was negligent.
The club's management is very sorry and is cooperating with the authorities.
The Prime Minister of India has also announced financial help for the families of those who died and for the injured.
A deadly fire broke out just after midnight at Birch by Romeo Lane, a popular club in Arpora, North Goa.
The blaze is suspected to have started from a cylinder explosion, engulfing the kitchen on the ground floor.
25 bodies were recovered, most from the kitchen area, suggesting the majority were staff members.
Rescue and firefighting efforts continued until Sunday morning, with multiple fire tenders dispatched to the site.
The government is conducting a thorough investigation and has promised strict action against any negligence.
