A devastating fire in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of Maharani Laxmibai Medical College Hospital in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, claimed the lives of 10 newborns late Friday night. The fire, caused by an electrical short circuit in an oxygen concentrator, spread rapidly due to the oxygen-rich environment.

Heart-wrenching scenes unfolded as grieving parents gathered outside the hospital, demanding accountability. A mother tearfully asked, “Who will give me my child?” Many parents criticised the hospital for inadequate safety measures. Authorities, including the District Magistrate, confirmed investigations are underway to determine if negligence played a role.
