The facility operated illegally with twenty-six rooms and a single exit, bypassing fundamental fire safety clearances. The tragedy exposes severe systemic failures in urban governance, prompting magisterial inquiries and urgent city-wide sealing drives to enforce strict building and safety compliances.
