India fire death toll rises to 52
The death toll from the devastating blaze at a trade fair in northern India rose today to 52, officials said, while people struggled to find their relatives among the charred bodies.
At least 200 people were injured by the flames or trampled as fire swept through giant exhibition tents at a consumer electronics show in the dusty rural town of Meerut, about 400 kilometres from the city of Lucknow.
