A fire at a multi-use commercial building in the Aliganj area of Lucknow resulted in fifteen fatalities and multiple injuries on June 22, 2026.

2026年6月22日，勒克瑙Aliganj區一棟多用途商業大廈發生火災，導致15人死亡，多人受傷。

The incident occurred at a three-storey structure housing an animation center, a library, and a veterinary clinic. Medical reports from King George's Medical University indicate that the majority of the fifteen fatalities were attributed to smoke inhalation. Survivors reported that the rapid proliferation of smoke obstructed egress routes, necessitating desperate escape attempts, including jumping from upper floors. Rescue operations required the breach of an adjacent building's wall to facilitate the extraction of victims via stretchers.

該事故發生在一棟三層高的建築物中，內有動畫中心、圖書館及獸醫診所。喬治國王醫科大學的醫療報告指出，15名死者中的多數死因均為吸入煙霧。倖存者表示，煙霧迅速擴散並阻塞了逃生路線，迫使人們採取極端逃生手段，包括從高層跳下。救援行動當時必須破壞相鄰建築的牆壁，以便使用擔架將受害者救出。

Preliminary administrative findings suggest significant regulatory non-compliance. Although the premises were approved for residential use on the ground floor, a four-storey commercial operation was active. The facility reportedly lacked necessary fire and electrical safety certifications and exceeded its sanctioned electrical load, drawing 35.50 kilowatts against a 20-kilowatt limit. Hypotheses regarding the ignition source include a malfunction in an air conditioner compressor or an electrical spark. Legal repercussions have commenced with the arrest of four individuals, including building owners, and the suspension of four government officials for professional negligence. Furthermore, it was revealed that a 2016 demolition order for unauthorized construction had been revoked within two months.

初步行政調查顯示，該處存在嚴重的監管違規行為。儘管該場所獲准僅在底層作為住宅使用，但實際上卻在經營四層的商業活動。據報導，該設施缺乏必要的消防與電氣安全認證，且用電量超過核准限額，在20千瓦的上限下使用了35.50千瓦。關於起火原因的假設包括空調壓縮機故障或電火花引起。法律追究已經開始，包括業主在內的四人被逮捕，另有四名政府官員因職務疏忽被停職。此外，調查揭露2016年的一項針對違章建築的拆除令在兩個月內即被撤銷。

In response, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath established a two-member Special Investigation Team (SIT), comprising the Additional Chief Secretary for Tourism, Culture, and Religious Affairs and the Additional Director General of Police for the Lucknow Zone. This body is mandated to deliver a comprehensive report within seven days. Financial reparations have been institutionalized, with the state government providing ₹5 lakh to the kin of the deceased and ₹50,000 to the injured, supplemented by ₹2 lakh and ₹50,000 respectively from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund.

對此，首席部長Yogi Adityanath成立了一個由兩名成員組成的特別調查小組（SIT），成員包括旅遊、文化及宗教事務額外首席秘書及勒克瑙區額外警察總監。該小組被要求在七天內提交一份全面報告。財務賠償已制度化，州政府向死者家屬提供50萬盧比，向傷者提供5萬盧比，而總理國家救濟基金則分別提供20萬盧比及5萬盧比。

The state government is currently conducting a forensic investigation into the cause of the fire while reviewing fire safety protocols for high-occupancy buildings.

州政府目前正就起火原因進行法醫調查，同時檢視高密度建築物的消防安全方案。
