The resort, situated close to the Bay of Bengal, was a three-story wooden structure. The blaze swiftly engulfed the establishment in the early hours, rapidly spreading due to the wooden construction. Among the fatalities were several young children, a somber fact that has left the community deeply saddened. The origin of the fire remains unknown at this time.
