3 Bangladeshis injured in Delhi hotel fire now in critical condition

The condition of three out of
the eight Bangladeshis injured in the devastating fire in a hotel in Delhi is
critical, the country's high commission in New Delhi said today (4 June),
citing doctors attending on them.
Indian authorities are trying
their best to take care of the injured Bangladeshis undergoing treatment in
different hospitals. The diplomatic mission is constantly monitoring their
condition.
The hospital authorities have
asked the kin of the injured in hospitals to avoid direct physical contact with
the patients due to fear of infection.
The blaze tore through a
hotel operating without a fire NOC in a congested bylane in south Delhi's
Malviya Nagar area yesterday (3 June), killing at least 21 people, including 12
foreigners whose relatives were being treated in hospitals nearby.
The fire at the Flourish Stay
B&B hotel in Hauz Rani in Malviya Nagar quickly spread through the
five-floor building that had only one entry-exit point, permanently sealed
windows and a sensor-operated main door, officials said. Factors which combined
to turn the building into a virtual death trap.
The flames raged, catching
everybody unaware and some in their sleep.
The owner of the hotel has
been arrested and a case has been filed against him on the charge of culpable
homicide not amounting to murder.
