Rajkot Gaming Zone Fire: Initial Probe Reveals Cause Of Incident; 2,000 Litre Diesel Was Stored | 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. According to an IANS report, an investigation has revealed that the incident happened due to its management's negligence. The game zone had reportedly been operating illegally for four years in a residential area without the necessary No Objection Certificate (NOC).
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. According to officials, the facility contained 1500-2000 litres of diesel for generators and 1000-1500 litres of petrol for go-karting.
The arcade was set up in a flimsy-shed-like structure to bypass regulatory approvals, IANS quoted sources as saying. They further said the facility continued to attract visitors, who were oblivious to the dangers.
