A devastating fire broke out on Saturday evening at a family entertainment venue game zone in Gujarat's Rajkot district.
This tragic incident resulted in the loss of at least 24 lives, including many children.
As per Reuters, rescue efforts are ongoing, with fears that the death toll may rise.
The TRP game zone was enveloped in thick smoke as the fire spread throughout the entire area, causing the structure to be completely destroyed by the flames.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to a social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his condolences, noting, "Extremely distressed by the fire mishap in Rajkot. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones."
However, the cause of the fire remains unknown and is currently under investigation by authorities.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has assigned a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident thoroughly.
Media reports suggest that two individuals have already been detained by Rajkot police in connection with the tragic incident.
The fire, which began around 4:30 PM, trapped over 30 children and their parents, prompting a swift response from the fire department.
Initial reports suggest the fire may have started with an explosion in the air conditioning unit, quickly intensifying and causing panic among the visitors.
