Police deny charges made by family; hospital authorities yet to respond
Five COVID-19 patients died at a private hospital here in Sector 56 in the early hours of Saturday. The family members of the deceased alleged that the deaths were caused due to short supply of oxygen and negligence of the doctors. The police, however, denied the allegations of short supply of oxygen, saying that oxygen was supplied to the hospital in a tanker on Friday night and again on Saturday morning. Repeated calls and messages to Deputy Commissioner Yash Garg to seek his response on the allegations went unanswered. The hospital authorities too did not respond to the calls.

The Union and State governments provided support in several ways to the needy people, but private institutions should also extend help, especially to those requiring medical assistance, said C.P.

Meenakshisundaram with C. Palaniappan Memorial Award for their contribution to society and Nalam Kappom medical adoption of Type-1 diabetic children, he said the governments implemented numerous welfare programmes, but the timely help by a private hospital or a doctor in the neighbourhood to the people in need would go a long way in safeguarding their lives.
