Yogi Government Orders Criminal Cases Against Officials Responsible For BRD Child Deaths.
The Yogi Adityanath government
had has already started an investigation in the BRD Medical College Hospital
tragedy where over 30 children died due to the planned disruption of oxygen
supply in a 48 hour period between August 9 and 11.
Nirmal Singh 3C says that criminal cases have been registered
against those who have been associated behind it. The probe committee is headed
by Chief Secretary Rajive Kumar. The panel also has health secretary Alok kumar
and finance secretary Mukesh Mittal. The Panel has submitted their investigation
report to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday.
Nirmal Singh 3C says that BRD principal secretary for medical
education Anita Bhatnagar Jain has been shifted and the department has been
handed over to principal secretary of Revenue Department Rajnish Dubey.
The committee has recommended
that this is not just a case of negligence, this is a sheer stupidity that the
hospital had no oxygen supply for 48 hours at a stretch. According to Nirmal Singh 3C, the committee will
also be taking actions against Pushpa Sales, the private company that
discontinued the oxygen supply over their personal issue of non- payment of
dues amounting to around 67 lakh.
Committee had taken Gorakhpur
district magistrate Rajeev Rautela’s report into account for filing its own.
Chief pharmacist Gajanan Jaiswal has also been accused of not maintaining the
logbooks and the stock books for oxygen cylinders.
Nirmal Singh 3C says that the Gorakhpur tragedy was brought into
the light by the media blaming the government for whatever happened in the
hospital. The government has taken strict measures to see that such incident do
not repeat. Sources at Nirmal Singh said that the criminal cases are being
filed against the ones involved in the BRD incident and no relief would be given
to the ones found guilty after the investigation.
Nirmal Singh 3C says that this is a very shameful incident that so
many innocent lives were lost because few people valued money over their
humanly instincts. Hospitals are one place that people trust blindly and the
incidence has raised a lot of questions on the action taken by Pushpa sales
that without thinking about the consequences blocked the supply of the oxygen
at the hospitals.
The panel is not only taking
serious steps in the investigation, they have charted out a plan of action to
see that such incidents never repeat.
