Fire caused by short circuit, downed current
The fire broke out due to a short circuit in the Jan Aushadhi Kendra of the district hospital. However, there was no harm due to the alertness of the employees. The current had also gone down in the center, so it was a bit difficult to get the fire under control. Apart from this, there is also information about the current coming down in the nursing school. The power lines in the district hospital have become very dilapidated. The current had come down due to the incessant rain and dampness. Jan Aushadhi Kendra has medicines worth lakhs of rupees. When suddenly smoke was seen rising, the hospital staff informed the operator. When the operator tried to lift the shutter of the center, it was found that the current was spread in the shutter. The fire was brought under control by cutting off the power. Principal Superintendent Dr. Rajendra Thakur said that the electricity department would be called and the wires would be checked.
