One of the six victims, Manaram Kumawat, who sustained 40 per cent burns and underwent surgery on Wednesday, has been shifted from the ICU to the general ward. Admitted to the National Burns Hospital in Airoli on Wednesday, he was initially scheduled for 48 hours of close observation. “However, he showed improvement, so we could move him to the general ward. Though he is stable and improving, he still requires hospital care,” said Dr Sunil Keswani, medical director.
