In what could be another heart-breaking news to wake up, at least 23 people have been killed after a fire broke out at a popular nightclub in Goa, one of the most popular tourist place in India. The incident happened on Saturday midnight in Arpora in North Goa district.
As per preliminary reports, a massive fire broke out at Birch by Romeo Lane after midnight due to a cylinder blast. The magnitude of the blast was so high that many of the casualties were due to suffocation. Most of the dead were the club’s kitchen workers, and included three women.
