Goa Nightclub Fire Probe Blames Arpora Panchayat | 25 Dead, 50 Injured

Описание: On December 6, 2025, a fire at the Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub in Goa’s Arpora claimed 25 lives and injured 50 others. Most victims died due to suffocation, as the club had only one narrow entry and exit point.

The state government set up a four-member Magisterial Inquiry Committee to investigate the tragedy. Exclusive details from the probe reveal systemic failures, with the Arpora panchayat identified as primarily responsible.

The nightclub’s trade licence expired in March 2024, but the panchayat failed to seal the premises or act on a demolition order. No objections certificates were issued despite complaints about illegal construction in an eco-sensitive zone, and some documents, including sanitation and police verification, were allegedly forged by owners Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra.

Seven approvals, including trade, excise, food safety licences, pollution clearance, and NOCs, were granted despite violations. Experts say this tragic fire highlights severe lapses in governance and public safety oversight.
