Six days after a devastating fire broke out at the Indian Oil Corporation depot near Jaipur, it is still not clear what caused the blaze.

Fire can now be seen only in two tanks. Smoke can be seen coming out of others.

A seven-member committee set up by the Petroleum Ministry is now investigating the causes that might have lead to the fire that killed 11 people.

Members of the panel, accompanied by civil and police authorities, visited the site and the surrounding areas affected by the fire.

They also spoke to the people in the area for first hand information about the blaze.

The team has to submit its report within six weeks.

The Jaipur police have already registered a case against IOC officials and employees for negligence.

So, whose money is lost now? Please stop tolerating mistakes. Let everyone responsible pay everything by selling their property. Tax is deducted even before I could see my salary to be wasted in flames, to be wasted in VIP securities, to be wasted in all stupid things. I need to pay toll for using the road? Then why the hell do I pay Road Tax???
