A pall of gloom descended over Dindigul on Friday, a day after the fire accident at a private hospital that snubbed the lives out of six people.

For many, the lives have reached a point of no-return, leaving behind only the memories of their loved ones.

Bala Pavithra (33), who lost her husband R Rajasekaran (36) and daughter Gopika (6) in the blaze, is staring a bleak future, and is yet to come to terms with the reality. On the fateful day, Rajasekaran, who works as a parotta master and the lone breadwinner of the family, and Gopika were attending to Pavithra's father who was undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Even a firefighter who is trained professionally to handle situations like this was deeply moved by the death of Gopika.
