Delhi Uphaar tragedy victims' association says no lessons learnt 29 years later

DELHI — The victims' association of the Uphaar cinema tragedy has stated that no lessons have been learnt from the disaster, speaking out 29 years after the fatal incident occurred in Delhi.

The association expressed deep concern over the perceived lack of systemic reforms and safety improvements in the decades following the incident. According to the group, the necessary safety measures and changes that should have been implemented after the disaster have not been realised.

In their statement, the Uphaar tragedy victims' association highlighted a persistent lack of accountability. They noted that 29 years after the fatal event, the systemic reforms required to secure public spaces and prevent similar disasters have not been put into practice.

The association's remarks focus on the ongoing lack of accountability and safety improvements. The group stated that the failure to implement these reforms shows that the lessons from the fatal Delhi disaster have not been learnt.
