Visakhapatnam Hospital Fire

Some staff members and even some patients were brought down from the roof of a hospital's entrance using ladders after a massive fire broke out in its operation theatre, in Visakhapatnam on Thursday morning.

A teacher from a government school in Odisha, who was set on fire on Sunday night allegedly for refusing to withdraw a sexual assault complaint against an education department official, died at a hospital in Visakhapatnam today.

With one more worker succumbing to burn injuries at a local hospital, the death toll in the fire that broke out at the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited's premises in Visakhapatnam last month has risen to 28.

One more victim in the Visakhapatnam oil refinery fire tragedy succumbed to burn injuries at a hospital in the city today. The death toll in last month's fire at the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) complex has reached 26.

The death toll in Friday's fire at the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited's refinery complex in Visakhapatnam rose to 18 with four more workers succumbing to their injuries today.

The death toll in the massive fire at state-run Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL) refinery-cum-petrochemical complex in Visakhapatnam has risen to nine with one more worker succumbing to burn injuries today, a PSU official said.

Even as Visakhapatnam has emerged as the health hub of the north coastal Andhra and neighbouring Odisha and Chhattisgarh, fire safety arrangements continue to be poor at a majority of the hospitals in the city, ringing alarm bells for the patients and their families.
