In New Delhi, tragedy struck as a massive fire engulfed a children's hospital in Vivek Vihar, located in the eastern part of the city. The devastating incident resulted in the loss of seven precious newborn lives, according to officials who shared the news on Sunday.
The Delhi Fire Services team revealed that the blaze erupted at the hospital in Shahdara on Saturday night. The quick spread of the fire caused chaos and panic among the medical staff and patients. Fortunately, twelve newborns were rescued from the facility, but unfortunately, seven of them could not survive the ordeal, as confirmed by Atul Garg, the chief of DFS.
Garg further added that the remaining five babies were immediately shifted to another hospital for emergency treatment. Upon inquiry, a senior police officer informed that the fire had broken out at the Baby Care New Born Hospital and the building adjacent to it at approximately 11:30 pm on Saturday.
