In the fire that broke out in the neonatal intensive care unit, 10 babies died, and 16 babies are fighting for their lives.

A terrible hospital fire occurred in Jhansi, India. The fire, which is believed to have started from an electrical fault in the neonatal intensive care unit of Maharani Laxmi Bai Medical College, caused a major disaster at 10:45 PM on Friday night.

Ten babies lost their lives in the fire, while 16 babies are still fighting for their lives. A total of 54 babies were present in the ward at the time of the incident. Thanks to the efforts of hospital staff and officials, 44 babies were rescued.

The story of a heroic father, Kuldeep, is heartbreaking. Kuldeep brought his ten-day-old baby to the hospital for a routine check-up and was waiting in the lobby with his wife when the fire broke out. Without thinking, Kuldeep ran to the area where the fire was, and despite burning his hand, he managed to save three babies. However, he experienced great anxiety as he could not get any information about his own baby's condition. Meanwhile, his wife was in tears.

Another tragic story belongs to Mangal Singh. Despite losing his own baby in the fire, Singh made great efforts to save other babies. Kripal Singh Rajput, whose grandson was being treated at the hospital, also showed great courage by rescuing 25 babies. Rajput also pointed out that it was not appropriate to treat 54 babies in a 18-bed ward.

Families gathered in front of the hospital waited a long time to get information about their children's condition. A mother who lost her baby tearfully recounted that she first could not find her child and then received the news of the death.

Jhansi Police Chief Sudha Singh announced that all doctors and medical resources were mobilized for the treatment of the injured babies.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who took action following the incident, launched a comprehensive investigation. He also announced that the families of the deceased babies would receive 5 lakh Rupees (approximately 60,000 TL), and the families of the injured babies would receive 50,000 Rupees (approximately 6,000 TL) in compensation.

Deputy Prime Minister Brajesh Pathak emphasized that action would be taken against anyone found negligent by personally inspecting the hospital. In a statement on social media, he said, "A detailed investigation will be conducted regarding this tragic incident, and all identified negligence will not go unpunished."
