Delhi Fire Horror: Another Hotel Linked To Flourish Stay Owner Raises Fresh Safety Questions

Key points· Video

• An India Today ground report from Hauz Rani in Delhi exposes Flourish Inn, a hotel operating without basic safety measures, days after a devastating fire at Flourish Stay claimed twenty-one lives.
• The investigation reveals that Flourish Inn, run by the same owner, functions without a visible licence and features windowless rooms, blocked emergency exits, and a kitchen situated in the basement.
• Footage shows window panes deliberately covered with plyboard, leaving guests with no escape route in case of a fire or cylinder blast.
• The report questions the role of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, the Delhi Jal Board, and power distribution companies in allowing such establishments to operate.
• It also points out the misuse of the bed and breakfast policy, which permits a maximum of six rooms, to run full-scale hotels.
