ABP News  

The fire tragedy at a Rajkot gaming arcade, which resulted in the death of 28 people, including 9 children, on Saturday has raised questions about the safety protocol in place. The game zone had reportedly been operating illegally for four years in a residential area without the necessary No Objection Certificate. Investigation revealed that the two-storey gaming zone operated without necessary licences, raising concerns about safety regulations. The facility had a single gate for entry and exit, and stored large quantities of diesel and petrol, making it highly susceptible to fire hazards.
