New Delhi, May 15

A fire broke out at a nursing home in the Uttam Nagar area in Delhi. However, no one was injured in the incident.

The Delhi Fire Services rushed 10 fire trucks to the area, and doused the flames after a few hours. 

Additional DCP, Nishant Gupta stated that the fire originated from the second floor of BM Gupta hospital, which housed a hostel for nurses, and a dental facility. It then spread to the third floor, where the hospital’s records were kept. The second floor had accommodation for six nurses only, and the ground floor had a chemist shop. Around 15-20 patients and 20 staff were present during the incident, who were evacuated immediately.

In May last year, a massive fire broke out at a neonatal care facility in Shahdara’s Vivek Vihar, in which six newborn babies, aged between a day and 25 days, were killed.
