A large childrenโs play area located in a temporary building in Rajkot game zone fire in Gujarat On Saturday night, killing at least 27 people, including four minors. The number of dead will probably increase after the debris is removed from the area.
According to reports, there were no fire extinguishers, emergency exits, or qualified personnel to manage the emergency evacuation, and the large fire that broke out in the crowded play area quickly spread throughout the TRP game area.
Furthermore, it needs to be made clear whether the play area received a no-objection certificate from the fire department. The state administration has now formed an investigation team to determine whether the TRP game zone has the necessary licenses and permissions from the authorities.
A top Rajkot official told The Hindu, โSince there were holidays and weekends, the place became overcrowded, and the management did not limit the number of people inside the building. There is no clarity about how many people were inside and What caused the fire?โ What was the reason for this?โ
The problem became worse when the temporary buildings collapsed due to extreme heat. More than twenty air conditioners are installed in the structure. The buildingโs temporary walls and structure supported the AC compressor.
DNA tests will be conducted to identify the bodies found burnt beyond recognition. Twenty-seven bodies have been recovered so far and have been brought to Rajkot Civil Hospital.

A massive fire broke out in a gaming zone in Rajkot, Gujarat. Till the time the video was shot, 20 people, including 12 children, were reported dead in this accident. At present, the fire has been brought under control. A rescue operation is going on at the incident site. Efforts are being made to remove the dead body. Giving information on this fire incident, Rajkot Police Commissioner Raju Bhargava said that a case will be registered against the owner of the gaming zone on charges of negligence.ย
A fire broke out in the TRP gaming zone in the afternoon. Rescue operations are underway as the fire is under control, and we are trying to recover as many bodies as possible. Now, around 20 bodies have been recovered, and they have been sent to the hospital for further investigation as the gaming group is owned by a person named Yuvraj Singh Solanki, and we are going to file a crime for negligence and other deaths.ย
Further investigation will be conducted after the completion of the rescue operation in Rajkot. A video of this fire incident has also surfaced in which the entire game zone is seen burning. Local people said that a large number of children came here during the holiday season when this incident happened. There was a huge crowd of children at that time. This TRP game zone of Rajkot was destroyed in the fire. This game zone was running under a tin shed. Seeing the flames increasing, firing was done on the spot. Many brigade vehicles also reached the spot. Till now, many people have been evacuated safely. On this incident, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has directed to provide immediate relief to the victims.ย
He wrote on X: Fire incident in Rajkot sports field. Regarding this, instructions have been given to the Municipal Corporation and the administration for immediate relief and rescue work and immediate treatment of the injured.
There is also an instruction to give priority to the system. Fire brigade teams are having difficulty controlling the fire. What did fire brigade officer IV Kheer say? We are not aware of any such case.ย
When the fire broke out in the TRP game zone, we sent a fire tender to the spot and tried to extinguish the fire. No one is missing; we have not received any message yet. We are working to extinguish the fire, and now the entire structure is about to collapse. Due to the high speed of the fire, extinguishing the fire is difficult.ย
I am feeling a little pain. PM Modi has also expressed grief over the massive fire incident in the gaming zone of Rajkot. He wrote on X that I am extremely saddened by the fire incident in Rajkot. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones and prayers for the injured. The local administration is busy providing all possible help to the affected people. The administration says that the death toll may increase. The number of people present in the game zone at the time of the fire is currently unknown. This entire matter has not come to light; we are keeping an eye on it.
