   INVITATION TO A TRAGEDY   
      
   Editorial, The Pioneer, Tuesday, April 12, 2016   
      
   Kerala temple fire man-made. Punish the guilty   
      
   The Kerala temple fire tragedy on Sunday was made-made   
   and not an act of god. It was the result of the   
   indifference of a set of individuals to the safety of   
   people in the lust for extravaganza that had no divine   
   sanction. The excessive fireworks that set off the   
   massive blaze, claiming more than 100 lives, was not a   
   requirement as part of any ritual associated with the   
   Puttingal Devi temple in Kollam district. But the Devosam   
   Board, a highly influential organisation that manages   
   hundreds of temples in the State, has reportedly said   
   that under no circumstances would fireworks be   
   discontinued to mark important occasions and events as   
   part of various temple celebrations.
