In a heartbreaking incident in Kuwait, a massive fire engulfed a building in Mangaf, resulting in the tragic deaths of 41 Indian workers among the 49 total casualties. The Indian authorities are currently conducting DNA tests to identify the victims and facilitate the repatriation of their bodies back to India. Amid the devastating news, stories of bravery emerged, with reports of daring escapes, such as a Kerala man jumping onto a water tank to survive the flames.

As the nation mourns the loss of its citizens, the Indian Air Force stands by on standby, ready to bring back the mortal remains of the deceased Indian workers. The Minister of State for External Affairs, Kirti Vardhan Singh, has also arrived in Kuwait to oversee the aid and repatriation processes for the victims and their families.

The tragedy in Kuwait has brought to light the need for stringent safety measures in labor housing facilities to prevent such incidents in the future. Investigations are ongoing, and local authorities have detained the building owner to probe possible negligence that may have contributed to the devastating fire.

In a show of solidarity, the state government of Kerala has announced ex-gratia payments for the families of the victims and those injured in the Kuwait fire tragedy. The death toll of Keralites has risen to 26, highlighting the impact of the incident on the Indian community.
