Jaipur hospital fire kills six as leaders demand answers

BJP National President J.P. Nadda and Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi expressed condolences after a fire at Sawai Man Singh Hospital's Trauma Centre in Jaipur killed more than six people on Monday. Nadda spoke with Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma to inquire about relief efforts and medical care for victims. Gandhi urged the state government to provide compensation, conduct a transparent investigation, and implement strict measures to prevent future tragedies. A six-member committee led by Medical Education Department Commissioner Iqbal Khan will investigate the fire's cause and review safety protocols. The blaze in the Neurosurgery ICU reportedly resulted from an electrical short circuit late on Sunday night. The committee must submit its findings promptly while officials face mounting pressure to enhance fire safety standards in public hospitals.
