Smoke was noticed on the first floor of Sentini Super Specialty Hospital as a fire broke out, apparently due to a short circuit. The incident led to panic among patients and their attendants.

Some people broke the window panes of the building. Fire fighting personnel deployed escalators to rescue the people trapped inside.





Ambulances were pressed into service to shift the patients to other hospitals.
