Massive game zone fire claims at least 24 lives including 12 kids; four are being held.

On Saturday night, a major fire broke out at a game zone in Rajkot city, Gujarat, killing at least 24 people, including children. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime), Parthraj Gohil, announced that "four persons associated with the gaming zone have been detained." Gohil continued, "We are determining who owned the land on which the game zone was established and who was in charge of the game zone." Victims with injuries are presently being sent to Rajkot Civil Hospital.

According to Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, the authorities have been directed to give priority to making plans for the injured people's immediate medical care.

"Instructions have been given to the Municipal Corporation and the administration for immediate rescue and relief operations in the fire incident in the game zone in Rajkot," Bhupendra Patel posted on Twitter.

According to a fire officer, the wind made combating the fire more challenging.

"We still need to determine what caused the fire. The efforts to put out the fire are in progress. No missing person's message has reached us. News outlet ANI reported fire officer IV Kher as stating, "We are facing difficulty in the firefighting operation due to wind velocity and the collapse of the temporary structure."
