A significant fire erupted at Eye 7 Children's Hospital in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar on Wednesday, prompting the arrival of 12 fire tenders to the scene. Efforts to extinguish the fire are currently underway.
Images from the scene depict a dense plume of black smoke emanating from the building. Further details regarding the incident are awaited.
This incident follows a similar one in May, where a children's hospital in Delhi witnessed a major fire resulting in the tragic death of seven newborns. Fortunately, 12 newborn babies were safely evacuated from the premises. However, subsequent investigations revealed prior controversies surrounding the hospital. Dr. Naveen Khichi, the hospital owner, faced allegations of assaulting a newborn during treatment, and the hospital was found to be unregistered.
