The &#039;&#039;&#039;Dabwali fire accident&#039;&#039;&#039; occurred on 23 December 1995 at [[Mandi Dabwali]], a town in [[Sirsa district]], [[Haryana]] in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Incident==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The incident occurred at the Rajiv Marriage Palace in Dabwali, where the local [[Dayanand Anglo-Vedic Schools System|DAV Public School]] was holding its annual prize distribution function.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Agony&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|last=Mukherjee|first=Bhaskar|title=Agony alive six years after Dabwali fire|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-24/india/30554591_1_fire-incident-proper-fire-function|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130103221717/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-12-24/india/30554591_1_fire-incident-proper-fire-function|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 January 2013|work=[[The Times of India]]|accessdate=6 March 2012}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A synthetic tent, which had been set up inside the building, caught alight when an electric generator short-circuited. The fire spread quickly and blocked the main entrance; many of the deaths were caused by the resultant stampede as 1,500 people tried to escape through the single exit door. At least 400 people died in the fire, and another 160 were injured, half of them with serious burns.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/Newsbriefs/9512/12-23/am.html?iref=allsearch About 400 killed in fire in India].

==Aftermath==&lt;br /&gt;
Dabwali Civil Hospital was unable to cope with the number of casualties, so many of the burn victims were sent to nearby towns for treatment. The [[Christian Medical College Ludhiana|Christian Medical College]] in Ludhiana received thirty-two patients, despite having only a six-bed burn unit and inadequate resources.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.cmf.org.uk/publications/content.asp?context=article&amp;amp;id=2411 Fire in Dabwali] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20120907021247/http://www.cmf.org.uk/publications/content.asp?context=article&amp;amp;id=2411 |date=7 September 2012 }}. Christian Medical Fellowship.

&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2003, a one-man commission was set up to investigate the incident, and to calculate the amount of compensation owed to the families of the victims. The commission, headed by Justice TP Garg, demanded numerous extensions and took over six years to conclude its report.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.indianexpress.com/news/dabwali-fire-committees-tenure-extended-by-three-months-for-report/365661/0 Committee’s tenure extended by three months for report].

Retrieved 6 March 2012.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Compensation was eventually set at Rs 18cr (3.9 million USD$,2003), although in November 2009 the Punjab and Haryana High Court increased the amount to Rs 34cr (7.4 million USD$,2003), and added an extra 6% interest to make up for the delay.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.today/20120707191252/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-11-10/chandigarh/28059840_1_compensation-dabwali-disability HC raises relief to Rs 34cr]. The Times of India. Retrieved 6 March 2012.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The money was to be jointly supplied by the DAV trust and the Haryana government, and shared among the families of 446 victims. However, the DAV appealed against the decision, claiming that the amount was excessive, and that the school should not be responsible for compensating the families.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_dabwali-fire-supreme-court-directs-dav-to-pay-compensation-of-rs10-cr_1359381 Supreme Court directs DAV to pay compensation of Rs 10cr].

Retrieved 6 March 2012.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The court replied that they hadn’t carried out adequate [[fire safety]] checks, and directed them to pay an interim compensation of Rs 10cr(2.2 million USD$, 2003) before the appeal could be heard.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.ndtv.com/news/india/10-crores-for-dabwali-fire-victims-says-supreme-court-17725.php 10 crores for Dabwali fire victims].

&lt;br /&gt;
Members of the Dabwali Fire Victims Association, formed by the survivors and the families of the dead, feel that not enough has been done to ensure that the tragedy will never be repeated. They claim that after sixteen years, the necessary fire safety regulations have still not been put in place.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Agony&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; They have also expressed disappointment that the government’s promises of a new 100-bed hospital and burn treatment centre have yet to be fulfilled.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2011/20111224/haryana.htm#2 Promises remain unfulfilled 16 years after Dabwali fire].

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Chief Minister of Mizoram&#039;&#039;&#039; is the [[head of government|chief executive]] of the [[India]]n state of [[Mizoram]]. As per the [[Constitution of India]], the [[Governors of states of India|governor]] is a state&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[de jure]]&#039;&#039; head, but &#039;&#039;[[de facto]]&#039;&#039; executive authority rests with the [[Chief Minister (India)|chief minister]]. Following elections to the [[Mizoram Legislative Assembly]], the [[Governor of Mizoram|state&#039;s governor]] usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the [[Government of Mizoram|government]]. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose [[Cabinet (government)|council of ministers]] are [[Cabinet collective responsibility|collectively responsible]] to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister&#039;s term is for five years and is subject to no [[term limit]]s.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;term1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;[[Durga Das Basu]]. &#039;&#039;Introduction to the Constitution of India&#039;&#039;. 1960. 20th Edition, 2011 Reprint. pp. 241, 245.

The &#039;&#039;&#039;Deputy Chief Minister of the National Capital Territory of Delhi&#039;&#039;&#039; is the deputy to the [[List of chief ministers of Delhi|Chief Minister of the National Capital Territory of Delhi]], who is head of the [[government of the National Capital Territory of Delhi]]. The deputy chief minister is the second highest ranking member of the National Capital Territory of Delhi Council of Ministers.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;dpmconsti&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/of-deputy-chief-ministers-and-the-constitution/article3632410.ece|title=Of Deputy Chief Ministers and the Constitution|access-date=7 November 2017|newspaper=The Hindu|date=2012-07-13|last1=Rajendran|first1=S.}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A deputy chief minister also holds a cabinet portfolio in the capital territory ministry. In the [[Delhi Legislative Assembly|legislative assembly system]] of government, the [[Chief minister (India)|chief minister]] is treated as the &amp;quot;first among equals&amp;quot; in the cabinet; the position of deputy chief minister is used to govern the capital territory with the support of a single party member or to bring political stability and strength within a [[coalition government]], or in times of capital territory emergency, when a proper [[command hierarchy|chain of command]] is necessary. On multiple occasions, proposals have arisen to make the post permanent, but without result. The same goes for the post of deputy prime minister at the national level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since 1952, National Capital Territory of Delhi has had only one deputy chief minister, who belongs to [[Aam Aadmi Party]], its one of the founding members [[Manish Sisodia]] is an inaugural and current holder of the office who sworn in two times by winning the [[2015 Delhi Legislative Assembly election|2015]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/kejriwal-appointed-delhi-chief-minister/article6892633.ece Kejriwal appointed Delhi Chief Minister and Sisodia Deputy Chief minister] &#039;&#039;The Hindu&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and [[2020 Delhi Legislative Assembly election|2020]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.business-standard.com/article/politics/live-kejriwal-to-take-oath-as-delhi-cm-for-third-time-retain-cabinet-120021600200_1.html Kejriwal to take oath as Delhi&#039;s CM for 3rd time and Sisodia as Deputy CM] &#039;&#039;Business Standard&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; assembly elections consecutively.&lt;br /&gt;
