China's top work safety watchdog dispatched a task force Tuesday to investigate a fire in central China's Henan Province and punish those responsible.
Sun Huashan, deputy director of the State Administration of Work Safety and head of the task force, pledged to discover the cause of the fire, which killed 38 people and injured another six at a rest home Monday night.
"We will severely penalize authorities and individuals responsible for the fire and try to prevent similar disasters from happening again," said Sun.
The official also promised timely disclosure of the progress of the investigation.
