A fire breaks out at a hospital in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, leading to the evacuation of patients from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The incident involves nine newborns/infants, who are shifted to other hospitals, and the fire response is coordinated with the fire brigade.
Reports indicate that smoke is noticed in the NICU area, prompting hospital staff to take precautions and evacuate infants and other patients from nearby areas. The hospital administration says the situation is brought under control after the fire brigade is alerted. According to accounts cited by outlets, the hospital continues operations after the cleanup, and relatives’ consent is obtained for the transfer of NICU patients.
While all outlets agree that nine newborns are evacuated safely and there are no casualties, they differ slightly on details such as the hospital name and the number of total patients evacuated. The Free Press Journal and The Hindu provide broader evacuation context, while India Today focuses on the newborns being shifted to other hospitals. The cause of the fire is reported as under investigation by relevant authorities.
