#BREAKING: Massive Fire Breaks Out At Makkar Multispeciality Hospital in Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar

A massive fire broke out late Sunday night at Makkar Multispeciality Hospital in East Delhi’s Laxmi Nagar, plunging the facility into chaos as flames engulfed the ground floor.

The blaze trapped several patients and their families, sparking panic among staff and visitors at the prominent healthcare institution. Local police from Laxmi Nagar Police Station, alongside teams from nearby stations, rushed to the scene, joining forces with the Delhi Fire Service to launch a swift rescue operation.

The Delhi Fire Service received an emergency call around 10:45 PM and immediately dispatched four fire tenders to combat the inferno. Firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the blaze, which eyewitnesses described as sending thick plumes of smoke billowing through the building.

“The scene was chaotic, with flames visible from the street,” said a local resident. Despite the intensity, the fire was successfully doused within hours, preventing it from spreading beyond the ground floor.

Fire Officer Deepak Hooda, who oversaw the operation, confirmed that no casualties or injuries were reported—a testament to the rapid response of emergency personnel.

“We received a call about a fire at the hospital. It was confined to the ground floor and has been extinguished. Everyone is safe,” Hooda stated. The rescue effort prioritized evacuating vulnerable patients, with police and firefighters coordinating to ensure no one was left behind.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation, though preliminary suspicions point to an electrical malfunction. Authorities have launched a probe to determine the exact trigger, raising fresh concerns about fire safety standards in healthcare facilities.

While the hospital sustained damage, the absence of harm to life offers relief amid what could have been a tragic incident. Further updates are awaited as officials assess the aftermath.
