A private medical centre in Dadu district caught fire on Sunday, leaving 10 patients, attendants and staff injured.

He explained that the medical facility uses generators for the longer part of the day due to excessive power cuts, which caused a short-circuit leading to a fire. Two newborns were also injured during the incident.
