The devastating fire broke out in the early hours of the morning at Bhandara District General Hospital, a facility located in the western state of Maharashtra.

The staff at the hospital have been working tirelessly to care for patients, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The loss of the newborn babies has deeply affected the hospital staff, who are mourning the tragic loss of lives under their care.
As the investigation into the fire continues, it is crucial for authorities to ensure that all necessary safety measures are in place in healthcare facilities across the country.
