MKCG Hospital Under Fire After Infants Moved with Shared Oxygen Supply
Berhampur: In an unfortunate incident, a fire broke out on the fifth floor of the MKCG Medical College and Hospital due to a likely short circuit at an operation theatre.
There was no injury or fatality due to the blaze, as patients and attendants were immediately evacuated from the fifth floor of the newly built super speciality building on the medical facility's campus, they said.
"The fire is now completely under control, and we suspect that it originated from the ceiling of the Urology OT-1. There is no injury or casualty," said Santosh Kumar Mishra, Superintendent of the MKCG Medical College and Hospital.
Smoke was first spotted billowing out from the plastic surgery ward of the hospital, its Principal Abani Mishra said.
"All the patients and their attendants came out of the building safely," Abani Mishra said.
