Chandigarh : A year after six infants were killed in a fire in the incubator of a government hospital in Patiala, the judicial committee looking into the tragedy on Saturday submitted its report to the state government, recommending steps to ensure that such incidents do not occur in future.

Former judge of Punjab and Haryana High Court justice K C Gupta, who headed the committee looking into the tragedy, called on Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal to present the report to him, a CMO spokesman said.
