Handing over the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) report into the Mahdia dorm fire which claimed 20 lives on May 21, 2023, Chairman, Major General (Rtd) Joe Singh said a fully-equipped facility would not have yielded a different result on the night of the tragedy given the speed of the conflagration.
He made the statement yesterday at State House where the report was handed over to President Irfaan Ali.
According to Singh, the printed version of the report was unanimously supported by all commissioners who had received their Instruments of Appointment on August 10, 2023, and began public hearings on September 15 which ended on November 10, 2023.
