On 31 January, in Jharkhand, at least 14 people, including women and children, were charred to death, after a major fire broke out in a multi-storey building in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district.
A total of 14 people were injured in the blaze that erupted at 6 pm on the second floor of Ashirwad Tower in Dhanbad's Joraphatak area, around 160 km from state capital Ranchi, they said. PM Modi condoled the loss of lives in the devastating fire at a Dhanbad apartment and announced an ex-gratia of ₹2 lahk for the next-of-kin of the dead.
