Agra. Politics is in full swing on this issue after the doctor in Tajnagri Agra came to know about the mock drill. Meanwhile, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday targeted the Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh over the oxygen crisis in the Agra hospital. He has asked whether the government will go to the bottom of the truth of the mock drill in the hospital and punish the people behind it? Priyanka Gandhi tweeted and said, “The UP government constantly said that there is no shortage of oxygen in the midst of acute shortage of oxygen. People lost their lives in agony across the state. In Agra also the administration is saying that there is no shortage of oxygen. Will the UP government bring out the truth of the Agra mock drill and punish the guilty?”
His remarks come after a video of an alleged heinous crime by the management of Paras Hospital in Agra went viral.
Following an uproar in political circles, the Agra district administration has sealed the hospital and registered a case against the owners under the Epidemic Act. The license of the hospital has also been suspended.
The official death toll on April 26 was only 7. It was alleged that the oxygen supply was cut off at night, resulting in 22 deaths.
A two-member inquiry committee has been constituted by the Agra district administration to probe allegations of controversy over the death of 22 people due to suspension of oxygen supply as part of a mock drill by a private hospital in Agra.
