Bhubaneswar/UNI: The patients were evacuated to a safe place after a fire broke out on the fourth floor of Shaheed Rendo Majhi Medical College and Hospital at Bhawanipatna in Kalahandi district on Monday late at night.

Hospital sources said the fire was noticed in the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward located on the fourth floor of the Medical College and Hospital, probably due to an electrical short circuit.
