In a significant crackdown following the devastating fire at 'Burj by Romeo Lane' in Goa that claimed 25 lives, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has issued strict instructions for the demolition of all illegal structures constructed on salt pan land. India Today’s Senior Special Correspondent Divyesh Singh reports that the club’s owners, the Luthra brothers, have fled to Thailand to evade arrest. Singh highlights that the tragic incident occurred at a venue illegally built on salt pan land surrounded by water, a violation common to several other clubs in the vicinity. The Chief Minister’s directive mandates immediate action against all such unauthorized constructions to prevent future tragedies. This development comes as authorities intensify their probe into the safety lapses that led to the high casualty count.
