Workers said that, even though there was a no smoking policy, smoking was commonplace among the workers. Also, the building was fire proof meaning that the outside of the building didn't burn, making it difficult for firefighters to get to the people.

the factory owners had locked the exit doors to prevent unauthorized breaks and theft. As a result, when the fire broke out, the locked doors trapped the workers inside, leading to the loss of 146 lives. Additionally, the factory lacked proper fire safety measures, such as sprinklers and fire alarms, which further exacerbated the tragedy.
