Coverage diverges significantly in the reported death toll and the emphasis on rescue efforts. The Hindustan Times and The Hindu initially reported varying figures, with the former stating at least ten deaths, while later updates indicated numbers as high as 21 or 20 from different sources. ABC News focused on a lower death toll of four, while The Jerusalem Post highlighted a higher figure of at least 20, suggesting a lack of consensus on the incident's severity. Additionally, The Hindu noted the presence of foreigners among the victims, a detail omitted by other outlets.
No outlet provided detailed information regarding the cause of the fire or the specific conditions that led to the rapid spread of flames. This absence of context may reflect a blind spot in the coverage, particularly among the left-leaning sources that emphasized rescue operations over investigative details.
