Delhi Hotel Fire | Delhi Hotel, Where Fire Killed 21, Had Permission For 6 Rooms. It Operated 25

It's the same tragic tale that replays itself every time a fire tragedy takes place. A tale of criminal negligence, flouted norms for greed and lack of official oversight. And it's the innocent people who pay the price of it with their lives. South Delhi's Flourish Stay B&B, where a massive fire on Wednesday morning killed at least 21 people, was a death trap. Sources have told NDTV that the hotel in Hauz Rani area was granted licence by the Delhi Government under the Bed and Breakfast (B&B) scheme. Under this permission, a complex is allowed to operate only six rooms. But Flourish Stay, NDTV has learnt, was operating 25 rooms, including some in the basement as well.
