A new video from Goa’s Birch by Romeo Lane has revealed how guests ran for safety with only one exit and one narrow lane to escape. The nightclub was built on a risky salt pan structure, with blocked pathways, poor ventilation and limited access for rescue teams. The layout left many trapped as smoke filled the basement and first floor. Investigators now say the club ignored major safety rules and operated without proper licences. The tragedy, which claimed 25 lives, has opened serious questions

At least 25 people were killed after a devastating fire broke out late Saturday night at Birch by Romeo Lane, a nightclub in North Goa’s Arpora near Baga beach, according to police. The fire erupted around midnight and is suspected to have been triggered by a cylinder blast, officials said. Multiple fire tenders were deployed, and rescue operations continued into early Sunday morning. [Goa, Fire] #NewsWithTN | TIMES NOW
