New Delhi:

The guests and the staff of Hotel Aprit Palace in Central Delhi’s Karol Bagh woke up to the worst nightmare ever on Tuesday morning. In the dead of night, there was a short circuit in the kitchen which caused a fire to break out at 4 am, that quickly spread on to the other areas. The wooden panelling on the floors acted as a catalyst and prevented people from running down. As many as 17 people were killed and several others injured. The Delhi government announced a compensation of Rs 5 lakh to the family of the dead. The irony, however, is that the website of the hotel boasts of giving “high attention towards safety and security of their guests.”
