At least 10 newborns died as a result of a fire that occurred in a hospital in India. According to local authorities, the fire started due to a short circuit in the basement room. The flames quickly spread through the building, leading to the evacuation of newborns and their mothers among the staff and relatives.
The Prime Minister of India expressed condolences to the families of the victims and announced an investigation into the incident. Local authorities also stated that compensation would be provided to the families affected. However, this tragic event raised questions about safety in medical institutions and the need for fire safety regulations in the country.
Witnesses describe moments of panic and chaos during the evacuation. "There were cries of newborns and screams of people trying to save them," said a medical nurse who was at the scene. Currently, an investigation into the incident is underway to clarify all the circumstances of what happened.
