      No there isn’t?

      A massive fire broke out at an amusement park in western India Saturday, leaving at least 27 people dead, including four children, police said.

      The fire occurred at the park in the city of Rajkot in Gujarat state.

      Police Commissioner Raju Bhargava said the fire was now under control and rescue work was underway. The bodies were difficult to identify because they were so badly charred, police officer Vinayak Patel said.

      Bhargava. the police commissioner, said that police were working to determine the cause of the fire.

      “We will be registering an offense for negligence and the deaths which have occurred. Further investigation will take place once we complete the rescue operation,” he said.

      The amusement park was privately owned by Yuvraj Singh Solanki.

      Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on X that he was “extremely distressed by the fire… in Rajkot. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. Prayers for the injured.”

        I got an ad blocker not a pay wall but it wouldn’t let me close it and keep the blocker on

          I’m using Firefox mobile with a bunch of ad-blocking and other plug-ins, worked ok for me.

        There is. I’m not using any ad blocking.

        Disable JavaScript? That definitely will not help.

          It does in this case. And most pages who don’t misuse JS to load the article. Some navigation or features may not work but you don’t need them in this case.

      Someone’s got malware and doesn’t realise it.

          No ad blockers or nothing. And yet you also have ads that don’t exist for me and no mobile header. It’s the same in Thunder or my browser.

          Unusual. Could be regional, could also be your OS. Sites can display differently depending on whether it detects your OS/native browser as mob, desktop, etc. So while the CSS is obv scaling to mobile, it may be displaying a diff version of the site.

          Or malware 😁 No really, it can make sites be like that (force to desktop) to load in content. First signs of malware is unusual behaviour in internet-related applications not behaving how they’re supposed to because something’s sneakily altering the behaviour and hoping you don’t realise.

            I’ve been on sites that track how many articles I’ve read and wait to hit me with the pay wall after some amount

              Yeah, but our mate’s phone here isn’t even loading the mobile site. So either it’s a dodgey half-assed phone with some random operating system or unknown browser, or something’s telling it to behave like that. Forget the whole paywall part if you must. There’s no mobile elements being loaded. The site’s being told the device is not a mobile device or a normal OS. And I highly doubt that site’s ignoring W3C standards, since it isn’t run by a old guy named Gary still using Geocities.

              Just sayin’ this is a common malware indicator. The whole point of it is to convince that everything’s normal, so at the moment I’d consider it C-grade success malware because apparently to everyone else this very abnornal behaviour seems normal.

              But what do I know. Ain’t my phone anyway. Forget I mentioned it out of the blue for no reason :) I’m sure it’s fiiiiine. Especially if they’re on an custom or cheap Android-based OS and don’t know what they’re doing (Note: Drenched sarcasm)

                Idk what you mean by mobile elements aren’t being loaded. Does the title of the article not count? I can see it behind the paywall banner

                  Top header with mobile menu. Usually set to only show for mainstream mobile browsers. Could only be WebKit. iOS only got full WebKit support in 17.
