The fire broke out at 10:30pm on Friday, affecting a neonatal unit and resulting in the tragic deaths of 10 newborns and injuries to 17 others.
The investigation into the cause of the fire points towards a faulty oxygen concentrator, although an electrical short circuit has also been suggested as a possible cause.
Rescue efforts saved 38 infants from the blaze, as families observed helplessly, awaiting news against the backdrop of charred beds and anguished scenes.
Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak promised that strict actions would be taken against anyone found responsible for lapses in hospital safety.
