Ten children were killed in a fire that broke out at a hospital in Uttar Pradesh on Friday evening. The casualties may go up, said an official.
The fire, possibly due to a short circuit, broke out in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of the Maharani Laxmibai Medical College in Jhansi. Doctors and medical staff were seen evacuating patients by breaking the windows of the ward filled with smoke before fire brigade officials reached the spot.
