A fire in a neonatal intensive care unit at a hospital in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, killed 10 newborns and injured 16 others.

The blaze, which spread rapidly through the ward treating 55 infants, highlighted safety lapses, including expired fire extinguishers and non-functional alarms.

Authorities rescued 45 babies and launched an investigation.

Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak pledged support for victims’ families and strict action against those responsible.
