((Witness interviewed on local radio said the fire started somewhere near the

electronic systems short circuited, the wires controlling the dico lights
snapped.
At this point there was smoke and flames in and around the music booth and the
lights went out. The people screamed and rushed to the door as flames engulfed
the disco.
The door through which the teenagers rushed was narrow, people trampled on
the bodies of people who fell and couldn't get up. Others were crushed under a
mezzanine which collapsed. Meanwhile bodies of the people who tried to flee the
blazing dance hall were piled up near the narrow corridor and at the door
through which people tried to flee.
Firemen were overwhelmed by the ordeal of taking charred bodies from the
disco.
Young people who crowded the disco were celebrating the end of the school
year. Many more took advantage of the Monday night 50 percent discount offered
regularly by the disco management. People who live near the area said the dance
hall was formerly a barber shop but converted and enlarged into a disco.
Police said it was the worst ever fire in the country.
