The situation has thrown life out of gear in several areas, also leading to eight major rivers crossing the danger mark in eastern Nepal.

SMS Hospital Trauma Centre In-charge Dr Anurag Dhakad said the blaze originated from a suspected short circuit in the trauma ICU on the hospital’s second floor.

Six critical patients were killed in a fire at the trauma centre of the state-run Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur late Sunday night, officials stated.
