In photos: Tense moments in fighting the RGGGH blaze

Fire broke out at medical equipment storage room at the back side of tower 2 of Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) on Wednesday. The fire was triggered by a possible short circuit that later led to explosion of oxygen cylinders kept in the room. No loss of life has been reported so far.
