As per news report of The Indian Express, a short circuit and fire in a transformer led to the power cut at the hospital. “There are back-up power sources at all critical areas such as the ICU and they took over during the power cut. The most important thing is that there were no mishaps,” said a senior doctor from the hospital, on condition of anonymity. “There are emergency protocols in place at every hospital for such scenarios and that was followed and patients were moved,” the doctor added. All services have been restored to normal at the hospital.
