Rajkot: At least four persons including children were killed in a massive fire that broke out at a game zone in Gujarat’s Rajkot city Saturday evening, officials said.
Efforts are underway to control the blaze and rescue those trapped inside.
The blaze erupted at a temporary structure at the TRP game zone, and among the victims were children who were present at the spot in large numbers due to ongoing summer vacation.
