Tragedy in Gudauri: 11 Indians die of carbon monoxide poisoning!

In a tragic incident in Georgia, twelve people, including eleven Indian citizens, have died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The shocking events occurred in Gudauri, a popular ski resort in the north of the country. The Georgian police confirmed on Monday that the corpses were discovered in a sleeping area over an Indian restaurant.

The victims who are considered employees of the restaurant were found on Saturday. The Georgian authorities have already started investigations. "Preliminary tests show no signs of violence on the bodies," said the Interior Ministry in an official message. A generator that was set up in an interior and probably switched on after a power failure could have caused the fatal danger.

The reactions of the Indian message

The Indian message in Tbilisa was dismayed by the loss of its citizens. "We are sad about the unfortunate death of eleven Indian citizens in Gudauri and express our deepest condolences to the families," it said in an explanation. The message works closely with the local authorities to accelerate the return of the body to India and is in contact with the families concerned.

carbon monoxide, often referred to as a "silent killer", is a odorless gas that arises when fossil fuels are incomplete. It can prevent oxygen transport in the blood and is particularly insidious because it can kill people in sleep without warning. The symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, chest pain and confusion.

The Georgian authorities have already commissioned forensic experts to collect evidence in order to clarify whether the deaths may be due to negligent killing. While the victim's identity has not yet been published, the tragedy is a severe blow to the Indian community and raises questions about security in tourist institutions.

Gudauri, known for his breathtaking slopes and as a popular destination for skiers and snowboarders, has not yet publicly commented on the incidents. Georgia, a former Soviet state, is located in the Caucasus and attracts numerous tourists every year who want to experience the beauty of the region.
