Fire department official told AFP: “There were 17 patients inside when a fire broke out in the ICU of Vijay Vallabh Hospital, out of which 13 died and four have been shifted to other facilities.”

The fire was totally extinguished, and the main reason for the fire is being investigated by the concerned authorities.
