Child among 6 dead after fire breaking out at private hospital in Tamil Nadu

Hindustan Times  

At least six people, including a boy, lost their lives in a fire at a private hospital in Chennai on Thursday, police and Fire Department officials said. The cause of death was determined to be suffocation, and Fire and Rescue Services personnel discovered the victims after evacuating around 30 patients from the hospital. The devastating blaze at the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital could have been prevented had hospital authorities addressed the recommendations from a safety audit conducted five months earlier. The safety audit report, dated June 20, 2024, was based on an inspection conducted on June 17 and 18 this year by a two-member team: Chandra Bhushan Chaubey, assistant director of electricity safety in Jhansi, and Mulayam Singh Yadav, electricity safety officer in Jhansi.
