The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has launched an investigation into the emergency door release mechanisms of Tesla's Model 3 vehicles, citing concerns that they are hidden and hard to access in emergencies. The probe, which covers about 179,000 model-year 2022 vehicles, follows a complaint involving a fire where the owner escaped through the rear window. This scrutiny comes amid broader safety questions about Tesla's door designs linked to past fatal crashes.
At least 23 people died in a fire at a nightclub in Arpora, North Goa, triggered by a cylinder blast early Sunday, with most victims being staff members. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences and announced Rs 2 lakh aid for families of the deceased. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant ordered a probe into the incident.
