Delhi hospital fire: 27 oxygen cylinders were kept inside and outside Delhi hospital where blaze killed seven newborn babies: FIR

The Hindu  

Twenty-seven oxygen cylinders were found inside and outside the two-storey Baby Care New Born Child Hospital, as per the FIR registered in the case. ‘Didn’t ensure safety’ A delegation of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, which visited the site on Sunday and spoke to officials and family members of the victims, said in its findings that emergency exits were absent building, fire extinguishers were non-functional, and there was a lack of operational fire alarms and water sprinkler systems in the hospital. The commission also noted that residents of the area, not the hospital staff, had reported the fire, indicating “a severe lack of emergency training” of the medical facility’s employees. “Residents who lived around the facility highlighted in every meeting that the medical facility housed such a high number of oxygen cylinders on the ground floor, creating a huge safety hazard,” said Mr. Goel. “The two cases are currently being heard by courts in Karkardooma and Tis Hazari,” he said, adding that the hospital owner was found to have been running another medical facility in Paschim Puri.
