Expired licence, doctor on duty not qualified to treat newborns, no emergency exits - these are among several lapses that have surfaced after a massive blaze at a children's hospital in the national capital that killed seven newborn babies. The police evacuated twelve infants from the building after receiving a call about the massive fire at Baby Care New Born Hospital in east Delhi's Vivek Vihar at 11.29 pm on Saturday. Of these, five survived the accident and were shifted to another hospital.
After the fire - which had quickly spread to two adjacent buildings - was doused, the hospital was thoroughly inspected by police, fire brigade staff and a crime team. The teams found out that after the fire broke out, oxygen cylinders kept in the two-storey building exploded, due to which the adjacent buildings were damaged. What also came to light were several shortcomings on the part of the hospital authorities.
