PTI said that around 84 patients have been evacuated from the hospital. More fire vehicles have been requested to be sent to the spot. The report quoted a fire brigade officer saying that the fire started due to a short circuit in the hospital’s air conditioning system. “The hospital administration has asked families to take patients out of the hospital and to admit them to other nearby hospitals,” it added.
