In a devastating incident in Bihar, India, five people lost their lives, and around 20 others suffered burn injuries when a fire erupted in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private hospital early Thursday. This news was confirmed by a senior official from the local administration.
The fire broke out at Prasad Hospital in Muzaffarpur district at approximately 3:55 a.m. There were 13 patients in the ICU at the time, and some in neighboring wards were also injured in the chaos. Due to the severity of the injuries, the death toll could potentially increase.
Emergency responders worked swiftly, rescuing nearly 20 patients who were subsequently transferred to nearby hospitals for additional care. Initial reports suggest that an electric short circuit may have sparked the fire, according to local media sources.
The heartbreaking scene outside the hospital saw families grieving for their loved ones amid the tragic circumstances. Efforts are ongoing to support the victims and their families during this extremely difficult time.
