Criminal negligence if anyone dies due to oxygen supply shortage: UP Health Minister
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Health Minister Siddharth Nath Singh stated that it's a clear case of criminal negligence, if someone dies due to disruption in oxygen supply, adding that when Gorakhpur tragedy probe result comes, culprits won't be spared.
In a video conference with the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), the Associate Chief Medical Officer (ACMO) and the Hospital Secretary, Singh said flood relief check posts in Uttarakhand have been made in which every check post, doctors, and teams have been deployed accordingly.
"During the time of surprise inspection at check posts, a doctor was suspended for absence from duty. As the flood water goes down, a number of snakes increases in the area. Arrangements have been made for anti-snake venom. Chlorine tablets are being given so that people would get clean water for drinking," he said.
Singh said the Government has given Rs. 250 crore in total to every district's Chief Medical Officer so that money-related problems should not occur in future.
