Fire in ICU of hospital in Indore, 5 patients shifted; no casualty
Indore (PTI): A fire broke out in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private hospital in Madhya Pradesh's Indore city following which five patients were evacuated safely from there, an official said on Thursday.
The blaze erupted in the ICU located on the first floor of the Care CHL Hospital on A B Road late Wednesday night.
It was a minor fire, but caused panic and chaos as smoke spread in the premises. The facility's glasses were broken to move the patients to a safer place before the blaze was put out, eyewitnesses said.
Chief Medical and Health Officer Dr BS Saitya said there were five patients in the ICU at the time of the incident and all of them were immediately shifted to another room.
"The five patients are completely safe. Prima facie, it seems the fire started due to a short-circuit in some appliance in the ICU," he added.

Efforts of party cadres will be rewarded on May 4: DMK chief Stalin
Chennai (PTI): Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Friday said that the efforts made by his party cadres during the Assembly elections would be rewarded on May 4.
The counting of votes for the Assembly elections held on April 23 will be taken up on May 4.
"We are set to reap the rewards of the hard work put in by our party cadres on the coming fourth (May 4 counting day). There is absolutely no change in this and not even the slightest deviation," Stalin said at a May Day event here.
"There is no need for anyone to assume that I am speaking merely on the basis of exit polls," he added.
Stalin, who is also DMK chief, said that "good news" would come for those eagerly waiting for the election results.
Stating that the DMK governance is based on philosophy and principles, Stalin said, "This will continue."
He recalled the pivotal role of the then Chief Minister C N Annadurai, who first declared May Day as a government holiday, and subsequently, late CM M Karunanidhi, who was instrumental in extending it as a paid holiday across the nation.
"Responding to the request of Kalaingnar (Karunanidhi), the then Prime Minister V P Singh accepted the plea and declared it (May 1) a paid government holiday not merely for Tamil Nadu, but for the entire nation," Stalin said.
