Just In: Fire outbreak in hospital kills 4 babies
FOUR newborn babies have died in a fire that broke out at a hospital in central India.
This has prompted the government to order a probe into the incident.
Government officials disclosed this on Tuesday while addressing the members of the press.
The inferno which razed through a neonatal care unit of the state run Kamala Nehru Children’s Hospital in Bhopal city late on Monday night, killed four babies, as well.
“Four children died in the fire that broke out in the special newborn care unit ward probably due to an electrical short circuit,’’ regional minister Vishvas Kailash Sarang told reporters.
Sarang said that there were 40 infants in the third-floor ward, 36 of which were safe as firefighters had shifted them to an adjacent ward during rescue operations.
