New Delhi — A solemn demonstration took place today outside the Delhi Assembly as AAP leaders and citizens paid tribute to the victims of the Palam fire tragedy. Families, activists, and political leaders gathered to honor those who lost their lives in the devastating incident, which could have been prevented with better emergency response.
The tribute comes after criticism that the victims were not remembered inside the Assembly, a move protesters described as insensitive. AAP leaders, including local convenors, held prayers and observed moments of silence for the victims of the Palam fire tragedy, stressing the importance of remembering their lives.
