February 23, 2025
|The New Indian Express Kalaburagi
Exactly 15 years ago on this day, Bengaluru witnessed a horrific incident: the Carlton Towers fire tragedy that claimed nine lives.

Its Managing Trustee and President Uday Vijayan, whose son was one of the nine casualties, in an interaction with the editorial team of The New Sunday Express, shares how 'Beyond Carlton' has brought changes, while a lot more needs to be done.
Excerpts...
