Goa Club Fire: Repeated Warnings For Years, Zero Action, Then Disaster
The very construction of 'Birch by Romeo Lane' was patently illegal, documents accessed by NDTV show, and 25 lives could have been saved if action had been taken on the notices - including at least one for demolition - issued against the establishment. A blaze ripped through the nightclub in Goa's Arpora around midnight on Saturday and 25 people - five tourists and 20 staff members - were killed. The owners, Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, who were in Delhi at the time, fled to Thailand hours later.
