Grieving Parents Demand Justice for Infants Killed in Delhi Hospital Fire

The tragic incident at Baby Care New Born hospital in East Delhi’s Vivek Vihar has left the parents and family members of the seven infants who lost their lives in a state of shock and grief. The fire that broke out at the hospital claimed the lives of at least seven newborn babies, with five others currently undergoing treatment for minor burn injuries.

Distraught parents are demanding justice from the authorities for their tragic loss, questioning the legality of the hospital and whether it had the necessary safety measures in place. One parent, Ritik, who lost his 10-day-old child, expressed frustration at the officials’ silence regarding the hospital’s compliance with regulations.

Another parent shared the heartbreaking story of losing his daughter, born at another hospital, after she developed health issues and was admitted to the ill-fated facility. The inconsolable father lamented the loss of his child, while another parent, who had previously lost a son, questioned the lack of adequate facilities at the hospital.

Investigations revealed that the hospital’s license had expired, and it was operating beyond its permitted capacity at the time of the fire. The doctors at the hospital were also found to be unqualified to provide the necessary care for newborns in critical condition. Additionally, the absence of emergency exits and fire extinguishers on the premises raised concerns about the lack of safety measures.

The owner of the medical facility, Dr. Naveen Khichi, who had absconded after the fire, has been detained by the Delhi Police. The tragic incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, as grieving parents seek answers and justice for the loss of their precious children.

As the investigation continues, the community mourns the loss of innocent lives and calls for stricter regulations to prevent such tragedies in the future. The heartbreaking stories of the parents serve as a reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of all individuals, especially the most vulnerable among us.
