According to sources
in the hospital, two more kids breathed their last taking the toll to nine in
the fire incident reported
in the children’s ward on Saturday last.
Meanwhile, the hospital administration acting quickly has got completed within 72 hours the repair work of the ward where the blaze had erupted due to the short-circuit. All facilities at the ward have been restored and the
treatment of the patient
s were under way. The two kids which passed away were identified as Asia’s son and Bahadur’s son. No provincial minister or health secretary visited the hospital, and the two committees formed to investigate
the fire incident have so far failed to trace those responsible for the incident.

the facts the hospital administration repaired the children’s war immediately, bed
s were in place and even a new air-conditi
