Calling the fire incident"very disturbing", BJP MLA Michael Lobo said:"We will need to conduct a safety audit of all other clubs in Goa, which is very important." "I am disturbed because of the incident. There are 23 casualties, three women and 20 men. Some are tourists, while most are locals who were working in the restaurant's basement. We will need to conduct a safety audit of all other clubs in Goa, which is very important," Lobo said. He further added:"Tourists have always considered Goa a very safe destination, but the fire incident is very disturbing, and such incidents should not happen in the future. The safety of tourists and the workers in these establishments is extremely important. Most people died due to suffocation as they ran towards the basement".
