This is so heartbreaking. Four women lost their lives. My prayers are with the bereaved families. The compensation will help, but the emotional void can never be filled. 🙏 Hope the injured recover soon.

Good that the CM has announced compensation quickly. But reading the article, it seems fires are becoming too common in Haryana. Just last week in Bawdi Gate, now in Jind and Ambala. Is there a systemic failure in fire safety checks? The investigation must be made public.

The factory owner must be held fully responsible. These small units often bypass all safety norms to cut costs, putting workers' lives at risk. Compensation is the government's duty, but justice means ensuring the owner faces severe punishment.

A tragic incident. Swift announcement of aid is commendable. The focus now should be on a thorough probe and implementing stronger preventive measures. The frequency mentioned is concerning.

Om Shanti. The families need support beyond just money. Government should also ensure jobs or educational support for the children of the deceased. That's true compassion.
