A fire broke out in an ICU section of a government hospital in Maharashtra's Kolhapur district early Monday morning, an official said.

The fire broke out in the trauma ICU section of Kolhapur's Chhatrapati Pramila Raje General Hospital, located around 230 km from here, early in the morning due to short- circuit, the hospital's Dean Dr Chandrakant Mhase said.
