BRAND-NEW DELHI (AP) — An enormous fire broke out Saturday in a theme park in Gujarat state in western India, leaving a minimum of 20 individuals dead, cops stated.
The fire emerged at the park in the city of Rajkot in Gujarat state. Authorities Commissioner Raju Bhargava stated the fire was under control and the rescue operation underway with 20 bodies recuperated.
The theme park was independently owned by Yuvraj Singh Solanki and Bhargava stated that cops will submit a case of carelessness versus him.
“We will be signing up an offense for carelessness and the deaths which have actually happened. Additional examination will occur as soon as we finish the rescue operation,” he stated.
The reason for the fire is under examination.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi composed on X that he was “exceptionally distressed by the fire incident in Rajkot. My ideas are with all those who have actually lost their liked ones. Prayers for the hurt.”
Fires prevail in India, where home builders and citizens typically flout structure laws and security codes.
