Introduction

A devastating fire at the Flourish Stay B&B in Malviya Nagar, Delhi, has killed twenty-one people. The victims include several foreign nationals and eight members of the Aggarwal family.

德里 Malviya Nagar 的 Flourish Stay B&B 發生了一場毀滅性火災,造成 21 人死亡。死者包括數名外國國民以及 Aggarwal 家族的 8 名成員。

Main Body

The fire broke out on Wednesday morning and spread quickly through the multi-storey building. The Aggarwal family was staying at the hotel to be near Radhe Shyam Aggarwal, the family patriarch, who is currently in critical condition on a ventilator at Max Hospital, Saket. Among the dead were Vivek Aggarwal, a chartered accountant, his wife Tarjini, their two daughters, and Hemlata Aggarwal. Three other relatives also died in the tragedy. Consequently, five family members were cremated in Gurugram, while three others were taken to Ajmer for their final rites.

火災於週三上午爆發,並迅速蔓延至整棟多層建築。Aggarwal 家族入住該酒店是為了靠近家族長輩 Radhe Shyam Aggarwal,他目前情況危急,在 Saket 的 Max Hospital 使用呼吸器。死者包括特許會計師 Vivek Aggarwal、其妻子 Tarjini、他們的兩個女兒以及 Hemlata Aggarwal。另有三名親屬也在這場悲劇中喪生。因此,五名家族成員在 Gurugram 進行火化,另外三人則被送往 Ajmer 進行最後儀式。

Family members and officials emphasized that poor building design contributed to the high number of deaths. They asserted that the hotel lacked enough emergency exits, as there was only one staircase and one exit point. Furthermore, the use of iron grills on the windows and glass enclosures made it very difficult for people to escape. Preliminary reports confirm that there were serious fire-safety failures. Most victims died from burns or suffocation; for instance, reports indicate that Vivek Aggarwal was trapped in the basement before he died.

家族成員與官員強調,糟糕的建築設計導致了高死亡率。他們聲稱酒店缺乏足夠的緊急出口,因為僅有一座樓梯和一個出口點。此外,窗戶上安裝的鐵窗格和玻璃圍欄使得人們極難逃生。初步報告確認,消防安全存在嚴重失效。大多數死者死於燒傷或窒息;例如,報告指出 Vivek Aggarwal 在死亡前被困在地下室。

Conclusion

The tragedy ended with the cremation of five family members in Gurugram, while authorities continue to investigate the hotel's failure to follow safety regulations.

這場悲劇以五名家族成員在 Gurugram 進行火化而告終,而當局則繼續調查酒店未能遵守安全法規的情況。
