Odisha: 10 feared dead after fire in SCB hospital's trauma care

In Odisha, at least 10 patients died after a fire broke out in the trauma care ICU of SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack on Monday, officials said. The incident happened around 3am.  Odisha chief minister Mohan Charan Majhi visited the hospital after the incident and confirmed the casualties. According to him, seven patients died inside the ICU, while three others died while being shifted to other wards during the rescue operation. The chief minister said the fire was caused by a suspected short circuit in the trauma care intensive care unit. Several patients were rescued and shifted to safer wards as firefighters and hospital staff rushed to control the blaze.

The incident comes just a day after two persons were killed and 17 others were injured, with over 200 houses damaged after a nor'wester struck Odisha's Mayurbhanj district on Sunday. The tornado-like system hit the two deceased persons along National Highway (NH)-220 around 4 pm, while the five injured people were shifted to the Keonjhar medical college, officials reportedly said.
