Fire at Thakurgaon Sadar Hospital yesterday noon halted scheduled operations of the patients for a few hours. Resident Medical Officer (RMO) Dr. Sultanul Alam told this correspondent that the fire broke out in a switch board on the wall of operation theatre due to short circuit. Within 10 minutes it damaged the cables of the operation theatre badly. The incident delayed the scheduled operations of the patients, he said. On information, fire fighters rushed to the spot and brought the fire under control. Later, a three-member probe committee headed by senior consultant Dr. Partho Sharothi was formed to investigate the matter.
