NEW DELHI: Relatives of patients at the state-run Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital Trauma Centre in Jaipur expressed outrage over what they described as negligence during a fire in the Trauma ICU late Sunday night, which claimed the lives of six patients. They recounted harrowing experiences as smoke engulfed the ward, highlighting lapses in safety measures. "When there was a spark, there was a cylinder beside it. The smoke spread throughout the ICU, causing everyone to flee in panic. Some managed to rescue their own patients, but mine was left alone in the room. As the gas spread further, they shut the gates," Puran Singh, a relative, told news agency ANI.
