Rahim Yar Khan
In a tragic incident, two newborn babies died after a fire erupted in the neonatal ward of a private hospital in Rahim Yar Khan’s Sadiqabad early Thursday morning.
Rescue sources said the fire broke out due to a short circuit. On getting information, fire fighters reached the site and put out the blaze. There were only two babies in the ward when the fire erupted.
Earlier in August, the Children Ward of Sir Ganga Ram Hospital had caught a fire. A short circuit was said to be the cause of the fire. No loss of life or injury was reported in the incident. A three-month-old baby girl had died after the blanket she was wrapped in caught fire in Lahore earlier this year.—TLTP
