Fire broke out in Sheopur’s liquid oxygen plant. – Photo: Amar Ujala Expansion A fire broke out due to short circuit in the liquid oxygen plant installed in the district hospital of Sheopur. On the spot, the fire was extinguished on time due to the understanding of plant technician Ankit Sharma and the guards of the hospital. Otherwise a big accident could have happened. Three oxygen plants are installed behind the building of the district hospital. The plant that caught fire is the liquid oxygen plant between the three. This plant was installed six to eight months ago. It was inaugurated by Union Minister and regional MP Narendra Singh Tomar. After this incident, allegations are being made that the work of these three plants was not done well by the contractor. The contractor installed aluminum wiring instead of copper in the plant. Due to this the power supply came with a sudden jerk and short circuit happened. Due to this the wiring of liquid plant caught fire. In this arson, some electric tables and iron angles inside the plant got burnt. It is being told that if the fire had reached the plant, there would have been a blast with a bang. Due to this, the lives of the patients and doctors admitted in the hospital were also in danger. Plant technician Ankit Sharma told that the fire broke out in a few seconds. He switched off the power supply. Due to this, along with the guards of the hospital, the fire was extinguished with the help of fire gas. If this fire was not extinguished on time, there was also a danger of explosion of the liquid plant. Had this explosion taken place, the lives of the patients and doctors admitted in the hospital would have been in danger. ,
