The recent South Delhi fire, which claimed 21 lives including 17 foreigners, has sparked a political storm, with Opposition Leader Atishi accusing BJP of hindering truth revelation. Serious safety violations were uncovered, prompting Delhi's Chief Minister to promise swift action against negligence and corruption. Accountability measures are underway.

A tragic fire in South Delhi's Malviya Nagar has engulfed local politics in controversy, with Opposition Leader Atishi accusing the BJP of a cover-up. She alleges that BJP's directives prevented the opposition from meeting victims and obtaining clarity about the true death toll.

The fire, which erupted at a guesthouse on Wednesday, killed 21 people, including 17 foreign nationals. Investigations revealed severe safety violations, such as locked exits and inadequate ventilation, which trapped victims inside.

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta pledged to hold those responsible accountable, launching a probe into the lapses. She emphasized stricter regulations against illegal constructions and promised tough measures to enhance safety and prevent future incidents.
