A devastating fire at the TRP Game Zone in Rajkot, Gujarat, has claimed the lives of at least 35 people, including children, with more than 15 persons still missing. The fire, which erupted during welding work, has been attributed to gross negligence and lack of necessary safety approvals. The Gujarat High Court has taken suo motu cognizance of the incident, calling it a 'man-made disaster' and criticizing the state machinery for its failure to prevent such tragedies. Seven officials, including two police inspectors and civic staff, have been suspended for negligence. The Rajkot Police Commissioner and Municipal Commissioner have also been transferred. Several arrests have been made, including the gaming zone's owner and manager. CCTV footage has revealed that the fire started due to sparks from welding work falling on wooden planks. The gaming zone lacked a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the fire department, and fire equipment was found to be non-functional. Over 3000 litres of diesel were stored on site. The Gujarat government has formed a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the incident further.
