A deadly fire at the Flourish Stay B&B in Delhi’s Malviya Nagar kills at least 21 people, according to reports from multiple outlets. The victims include foreign nationals, and the incident is described as involving a crowded building with limited evacuation options. Authorities are investigating both the cause of the blaze and the circumstances around the property’s operation and safety permissions. Police and officials examine whether the B&B was running more rooms than allowed under Delhi government rules. One report states the establishment had approval for six rooms but was hosting guests in 25 rooms, which can increase crowding and hinder escape during an emergency. Coverage also points to safety lapses, including concerns about fire safety clearance and the building’s exits. While the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, the reports align that the death toll stands at 21 and that the incident highlights potential violations related to occupancy and fire preparedness. Emergency response and forensic examination are ongoing as investigators assess compliance, access, and the factors that contributed to the severity of the fire.
