A devastating fire broke out at the popular Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in North Goa's Arpora village, leaving at least 25 people dead and over 100 trapped. Eyewitnesses described the chaos as flames engulfed the club, with many rushing downstairs into the kitchen, where they became trapped with staff. The exact cause of the fire remains unclear, but authorities suspect a cylinder blast may have been to blame. The club, which was packed with weekend revelers, had a history of violating fire safety norms. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has ordered an inquiry into the incident and vowed to take action against the club management and authorities who allowed the establishment to operate despite safety concerns. The local panchayat had issued a demolition notice to the club, which was stayed by the Directorate of Panchayats. The incident has sparked calls for increased vigilance and stricter enforcement of fire safety regulations in the region. As the investigation continues, the community is mourning the loss of life and seeking answers about how such a tragedy could occur.
