Tragic Fire at Indian Hospital Claims Lives of Newborns
At least 10 babies are confirmed dead following a devastating fire at a hospital in Uttar Pradesh; parents scramble in chaos to save their children.
A tragic incident at the Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College Hospital in Jhansi district, Uttar Pradesh, has resulted in the deaths of at least ten newborns after a fire broke out in the neonatal ward due to an electrical fault. Witnesses described frantic scenes as parents attempted to rescue their children amid chaos, with some breaking windows to enter the fire-ravaged ward. Though hospital staff were able to evacuate 44 infants, 16 are reportedly in critical condition. The loss is compounded as three of the deceased babies remain unidentified, leaving some parents without closure. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences and announced government compensation for affected families, while the state continues to investigate the cause of the fire, marking a tragic repeat of a prior incident that claimed six newborns' lives just months earlier.
