A massive fire broke out at an amusement park in western India Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead, including four children, police said.

Safety standards are no joke.

No there isn’t?

A massive fire broke out at an amusement park in western India Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead, including four children, police said.

The fire occurred at the park in the city of Rajkot in Gujarat state.

Police Commissioner Raju Bhargava said the fire was now under control and rescue work was underway. The bodies were difficult to identify because they were so badly charred, police officer Vinayak Patel said. 

Bhargava. the police commissioner, said that police were working to determine the cause of the fire. 

"We will be registering an offense for negligence and the deaths which have occurred. Further investigation will take place once we complete the rescue operation," he said.

The amusement park was privately owned by Yuvraj Singh Solanki.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X that he was “extremely distressed by the fire... in Rajkot. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. Prayers for the injured.”

I got an ad blocker not a pay wall but it wouldn’t let me close it and keep the blocker on

I'm using Firefox mobile with a bunch of ad-blocking and other plug-ins, worked ok for me.

Firefox+uBlock Origin is your friend

[–] RunningInRVA 5 points 1 month ago

There is. I’m not using any ad blocking.

Disable JS. Works fine there.

[–] RunningInRVA 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Disable JavaScript? That definitely will not help.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 4 weeks ago

It does in this case. And most pages who don't misuse JS to load the article. Some navigation or features may not work but you don't need them in this case.
