Fire destroys temporary theatre at Inox multiplex in Goa

A fire destroyed a temporary theatre at the Inox multiplex in Panaji on Sunday, just days before the Serendipity Arts Festival. The blaze, suspected to be caused by welders, spread quickly and could not be contained despite firefighting efforts. Fire officials noted a lack of safety measures at the site, including missing fire extinguishers and manpower. No injuries were reported, but the investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of the fire. The Serendipity Arts Festival is set to begin on December 15, with construction ongoing at various venues across Goa. Organizers expressed gratitude for the quick response from emergency services and Inox staff.
