New Delhi: Former Delhi chief minister and Congress city chief Sheila Dikshit on Tuesday met the kin of the victims of the devastating fire in a city hotel that claimed 17 lives, and demanded the setting up of a committee to probe its causes.
After meeting the family members of the dead at the Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) hospital Dikshit said, “The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi should form a committee to find out how did a huge fire break out in such a big hotel?”
Expressing deep shock and sorrow at the tragedy, Dikshit said that she had given her suggestions, and the committee, to be formed, must look into whether there were any procedural lapses and why so many people died in the fire?
The former Delhi chief minister reiterated that the guilty must be punished, but added that the government’s immediate task must be to console the families that have lost their near and dear ones.
