Goa Orders Demolition Of Another Luthra-Owned Club
The Goa government has ordered the demolition of another club linked to the Luthra brothers, days after a major fire at one of their properties claimed multiple lives. Officials said the move is part of a wider enforcement drive along the coastal belt to remove illegal and unsafe structures.
Blue Corner Notice issued
Authorities have issued a Blue Corner Notice through Interpol for Saurabh and Gaurav Luthra. Police say the brothers left India shortly after the fire incident and are wanted for questioning. The notice seeks information on their whereabouts from other countries.
Violations cited by officials
According to state authorities, the club marked for demolition was built without proper permissions and did not have fire safety or environmental clearances. Inspectors described it as unsafe and constructed on government land. Local officials have been instructed to remove structures that do not follow legal requirements.
Crackdown on nightlife venues
The incident has sparked a broader audit of nightclubs, cafés and beach shacks in the area. Panchayat bodies have been asked to verify licences and compliance. The Chief Minister said only establishments that meet safety norms will be allowed to operate, and those violating regulations will face demolition or closure.
Impact on tourism belt
Residents and hospitality operators say the enforcement drive could affect nightlife in parts of North Goa but welcomed stricter safety measures. The government has stated that regulation is necessary to avoid future tragedies.
