Rourkela: A 9-day-old infant boy, who had sustained severe burn injuries in a fire mishap at the newborn ward of Om Appolo Hospital in Rourkela on February 17, succumbed to his injuries at a private hospital in Bhubaneswar in the wee hours on Tuesday.

Following the death of the infant, tension has prevailed at the Deogaon village in Sundergarh district.
