Newborns escape hospital fire in Jharkhand Though it is too premature to ascertain the real reason for the fire but short circuit is being assumed as the likely reason
A major tragedy was averted as more than 20 newborns had a miraculous escape when the sick new born care unit (SNCU) at a private hospital caught fire on Thursday morning (8am) in Godda, around 330 km from Jharkhand capital Ranchi.
According to Godda town police station officials, in all 21 newborns were kept at the SNCU of the single storied (G+1) Sunrise Hospital in Godda.
