Fire Frenzy: Under-Renovation Banquet Hall Catches Fire in Noida, One Dead
Fifteen fire tenders are engaged in extinguishing the fire at Lotus Grandeur Banquet Hall, Noida.
New Delhi:
Well, folks, it seems that the ghosts of excess have come home to roost at the infamous Lotus Grandeur Banquet Hall in Noida, where a fire broke out faster than one can say “extra cheese on that wedding cake.” Our heroine of the evening? An unfortunate electrician who met an untimely end—let’s just say it wasn’t the kind of spark he was hoping for.
According to the official story (you know, the one that’s got more holes than a politician’s alibi), the blaze erupted late last night while the banquet hall was being prepped for who-knows-what kind of extravagant event. Who could have imagined that a night of unbridled luxury could be so flammable?

“About 3:30 AM,” said Noida DCP Ram Badan Singh, “we received intel that flames were roaring through the rafters, and our brave firefighters arrived faster than you can say ‘better safe than sorry’—all fifteen of them! Now that’s what I call a rapid response!”
But here’s the kicker: this hall was wooden. I mean, can you hear that? It’s the sound of a thousand building codes crying out in horror. DCP Singh noted that some parts were still smoldering, almost as if the building was auditioning for a dramatic role in a horror flick.
The electrician, a poor soul named Parminder, presumably thought he was just having a bad dream. He was sleeping upstairs and, unlike most horror movie protagonists, didn’t wake up in time to make a daring escape. A somber note from Pradeep Kumar, Chief Fire Officer, said it all: “He couldn’t get out during the fire.” Enough said.
As for the cause? The authorities are scratching their heads, but let’s be honest—when it comes to short circuits, they’re usually not the result of a social media challenge! Speculation is flying that perhaps some gas cylinders present might have played a role in turning a mild inconvenience into a four-alarm blaze. So spare a thought for those cylinders—they were just trying to heat up the party!
But wait, there’s more! Firefighters battled the blaze, but let’s just say the banquet hall is now as charred as a burnt toast. They say this place was a total loss…kind of like my last attempt at cooking!
So here’s to no more renovation disasters, as we tip our hats in memory of a guy who just wanted to bring some light to the event—only to end up being the one left in the dark. However, I suppose this is what happens when you try to throw a DIY party without the right safety measures! Remember, folks, if it’s too hot to handle, maybe reconsider that renovation plan.

The fire was first reported to authorities at around 3:30 AM, prompting a rapid response from emergency services. Noida Deputy Commissioner of Police Ram Badan Singh confirmed that the fire teams arrived within minutes of receiving the alert, highlighting the urgency of the situation.
Initial investigations suggest that the fire may have started due to a short circuit. However, the presence of gas cylinders in the kitchen is thought to have potentially exacerbated the flames, leading to the extensive damage observed at the site.
The wooden structure of the banquet hall significantly contributed to the rapid spread of the fire, as some areas continued to smolder even after the flames were knocked down. Regrettably, the electrician, identified as Parminder, was unable to escape the inferno while he was resting on the first floor, tragically succumbing to the fire.
The aftermath left the venue entirely devastated, with smoke and fire damage rendering the banquet hall completely charred and beyond recognition.
