What happened

The explosion hit the hospital on a Tuesday morning. Local reports said a gas leak in the heating system caused the blast. Ten people were hurt — two of them were children. Wounded patients were taken to GMC Anantnag for treatment right away. Authorities began an investigation and emergency teams responded to secure the area and check for further risks.

We focused on clear, verifiable details: location, cause reported by responders, number and age range of the injured, and where victims received care. There were no speculative claims about wider causes or long-term outcomes in our coverage — just the verified facts and the response steps taken by local health services.

What to do if you face a gas leak or a hospital blast

Being near a gas leak or explosion is chaotic. If you’re ever in this situation, your immediate priorities are safety, basic first aid, and getting professional care. Move away from the leak or damaged area as quickly and calmly as possible. If someone is burned, cool the burn with running water for at least 10 minutes and remove tight items like rings or watches if the person can tolerate it. For breathing trouble or smoke inhalation, get the person to fresh air and seek emergency care right away.

When help arrives, tell responders about any symptoms, past medical conditions, allergies, and current medications. Hospitals treating blast or burn victims focus on wound cleaning, pain control, and breathing support if needed. They may also provide tetanus shots, wound dressings, and observation for internal injuries. Avoid home remedies that could hide symptoms or make wounds worse; let trained clinicians assess and treat injuries.

If you’re responsible for a facility, check heating and gas systems regularly. A simple maintenance checklist can prevent leaks: inspect connections, install functioning gas detectors, and schedule professional servicing before the cold months. If you smell gas, leave immediately and call emergency services from a safe distance — do not switch lights or use electronics near the leak.
