According to Pathak, most of the center’s furniture was made of wood, which caused dense smoke that completely obscured visibility and delayed access for emergency services.<\/p>n”\n\n“n

Fire department personnel and units from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) managed to control the fire hours later, after which authorities confirmed that no one remained trapped inside.<\/p>n”\n\n“n
