The fire resulted in the deaths of at least 10 newborns and injured 16 others. At the time of the incident, the NICU was overcrowded with 55 infants, well beyond its capacity of 18 beds. Initial investigations suggest that the fire may have been caused by an electrical short circuit or mishandling of oxygen equipment. In response, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced an ex gratia payment of ₹5 lakh to the families of the deceased and ₹50,000 to the injured.[7][8][9][10]
