Amid shortage of oxygen and vaccines, patients being overcharged in private hospitals, says party.
Amid a rapid surge in COVID-19 cases in Haryana, the Congress party accused the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) government of failing to manage the crisis, with health services infrastructure in the State on the verge of collapse. At a party meeting on Saturday through videoconferencing, attended by Haryana Congress in-charge Vivek Bansal, State party chief Kumari Selja, Congress national general secretary Randeep Singh Surjewala and Rajya Sabha MP and special invitee member of Congress Working Committee Deepender Singh Hooda, among others, it was pointed out that black marketing of essential medicines was rampant in Haryana, and COVID-19 patients were being charged huge amounts in private hospitals. Mr. Bansal alleged that even though a year had passed battling the pandemic, the State government had failed to prepare, due to which people were suffering badly.More Related News
