Tragic incident. It's a reminder for all tourist destinations, including our hill stations in India, to have top-notch fire safety protocols. Condolences to Switzerland.
The UAE is always quick with such statements of support, which is commendable. But I sometimes wish our own MEA was this prompt and eloquent in expressing condolences for tragedies in our neighbouring countries too. Just an observation.
So heartbreaking. Switzerland is such a peaceful place, it's awful to hear this. Wishing strength to the rescue teams and a full recovery to the injured.
A fire in a ski resort sounds like a nightmare scenario. Hope the investigation finds the cause quickly. Solidarity from the Gulf nations is always strong in such times.
