OPINION | Delhi inferno: Greed, negligence and bribes 

The death of 21 people in a BnB (Bed and Breakfast) guesthouse fire in South Delhi brings to the fore sordid tales of greed on the part of builders, negligence on the part of authorities and bribes given to those who were supposed to keep a watch. More than 40 people were injured, many of them still critical. Among those dead were 11 foreign nationals. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta met the injured in hospital. Delhi government has announced it will give Rs 10 lakh ex-gratia to the families of those killed and Rs 5 lakh to those seriously injured.
