A devastating fire has claimed the lives of 25 people, including several tourists, after it tore through a popular nightclub in India’s Goa state. The tragic incident occurred just after midnight on Sunday in Arpora village, a well-known party hub approximately 25 kilometres from the state capital, Panaji.
Goa’s Chief Minister, Pramod Sawant, confirmed the grim toll, stating the majority of the deceased were kitchen staff, alongside three to four tourists. Six individuals sustained injuries but are reported to be in a stable condition, with all bodies now recovered.
