A tragic fire at Flourish Stay, a bed-and-breakfast in Malviya Nagar, Delhi, claimed the lives of 21 people, including 12 foreign nationals. The owner, Lavkesh Bajaj, has been remanded to four days in police custody as investigations continue. Authorities are searching for the missing manager, Jai Mishra, who was responsible for the hotel's daily operations. Preliminary investigations revealed that the hotel had been operating without a No Objection Certificate from the Delhi Fire Services and lacked a proper fire exit. Additionally, it was found to be accommodating 26 guests despite having permission for only six rooms. In response to the incident, Delhi's officials have formed a joint task force to inspect commercial establishments for compliance with safety regulations. This fire is being described as one of the worst disasters in the city in recent years, highlighting significant safety lapses in the hospitality sector.
