UP woman dies, Family alleges lack of Oxygen at Hospital
Kannauj (Uttar Pradesh): The family of a woman admitted at Kannauj’s Medical College hospital, alleged on Monday that she died due to lack of oxygen supply.

The hospital authorities, however, refuted the allegation and said the woman did not require oxygen supply.
“The 80-year-old lady was admitted in serious condition but she did not require oxygen. There is no shortage of oxygen supply at our hospital,” CMS Dileep Singh said.
