Sprinklers didn't work, late call made to fire brigade in Odisha hospital fire

A senior official, citing an eyewitness, said fire sprinkler system at Odisha's Cuttack hospital where 10 died after fire, didn't work as the tap (control valve) was closed. The official stated that the fire brigade, "located barely a few hundred metres from the site, received a call at 2:58 am, even though the fire broke out at around 2:35 am".
