In a devastating turn of events, a fire broke out at a hospital in Vivek Vihar area in Delhi, resulting in the tragic loss of seven precious newborn lives. The incident, which occurred late last night, has shaken the community to its core and left many in mourning.
Prime Minister Modi Announces Relief Fund
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stepped forward to offer support to the families affected by the fire tragedy. He announced an ex gratia of Rs 2 lakh from the Prime Minister’s National Relief Fund to the next of kin of each deceased newborn.

National Commission for Protection of Child Rights Takes Action
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) Chairperson, Priyank Kanoongo, has assured that the Commission is actively investigating the fire tragedy. A team from NCPCR will visit the hospital to conduct a thorough investigation and provide official information on the incident.
Delhi Fire Department Director’s Statement
Atul Garg, Director of the Delhi Fire Department, shed light on the possible cause of the fire. He mentioned that it is likely that the baby care centre did not possess a No-Objection Certificate (NOC), and the owner of the care centre, Naveen Kichi, is currently absconding. An FIR has been registered against him under sections 336 and 304A.
Rescue Operations and Tragic Loss
Garg explained the challenging rescue operation carried out by the fire department. Despite their efforts to save all the newborns, tragically, six children lost their lives in the fire. The presence of oxygen cylinders in the centre led to a blast, complicating the rescue efforts.
Condolences and Assurance of Action
President Droupadi Murmu and Delhi CM Kejriwal have expressed their condolences and assured that strict action will be taken in the case. The President extended her prayers for the speedy recovery of the injured children, while CM Kejriwal promised that those responsible for the negligence will be held accountable.
