Police say a gas cylinder explosion in the kitchen sparked the blaze while the club was packed with revellers. Many victims died of suffocation.

The venue\u2019s narrow access route over a small lake hindered firefighters. Crowded conditions, possibly inadequate safety measures, and rapid spread of flames contributed to the high death toll. Similar past incidents in India show recurring issues with poor safety standards in entertainment venues.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1030\" data-end=\"1033\" \/>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1102\"><strong data-start=\"1039\" data-end=\"1100\">3. Lessons to be learned from events and topics or issues<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1531\">This tragedy highlights the urgent need for strict enforcement of safety regulations in public entertainment spaces. Authorities must ensure proper fire exits, accessible routes, and regular safety inspections. Rapid licensing of new clubs should be monitored to prevent negligence. For visitors and workers, awareness of emergency procedures is essential. Strong accountability for violations can help prevent future disasters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
