  8-Minute Power Cut In Puducherry Hospital Kills 3 Patients

  An 8-minute power cut at a premier hospital in Puducherry ended in the loss of three lives. A man and two women were undergoing dialysis - an artificial process of purifying blood when kidneys malfunction --- at the hospital's new dialysis unit. Two of the patients died immediately. One died later at the Intensive Care Unit, officials said.
