 "Two die as fire breaks out in West Bengal hospital")
Two persons were killed while some others sustained injuries when a fire broke out in Murshidabad Medical College and Hospital today.
Panic prevailed in the hospital as people ran helter-skelter leading to a near stampede.
"A fire broke out in the hospital. Two causalities were reported. Fire has been brought under control. There is no need for panic", Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) S Saha said.
Soon after the fire broke out, patients were seen coming out of the hospital while some infants were taken out of the hospital ward.
