Letter Published in The National UAE on 10Dec 19 Delhi factory fire: Money can’t compensate for the loss of loved ones Regarding Taniya Dutta’s article Delhi factory fire: Dozens killed in blaze in city’s old quarter (December 8): this was sad to read. The incident had the highest number of causalities in the fires over the last two decades.The Indian capital Delhi is a busy city and the area where the fire broke out is narrow and crowded, which is why help could not immediately reach the victims.The probe underway must reveal the causes for the fire and subsequent deaths and the guilty should be punished. If it is proven that fire safety measures were poorly maintained, the factory should be liable to compensate the victims.But no amount of money can compensate the loss of people who have lost their loved ones. I pray for the victims and for the speedy recovery of those injured.K Ragavan, Bengalur
