High Court asks Delhi govt. to respond to plea
The Delhi High Court on Thursday asked the city government to respond to a plea alleging “unfortunate state of affairs” at Lok Nayak Hospital here. Justice Rekha Palli asked the Delhi government to “take steps to improve the working of the hospital”, while hearing the petition filed by Ashish Pandey, who was recently admitted to the hospital.
“This is not the first time that we are hearing it... Some of this [allegations] must be true,” Justice Palli said, adding that “we are not out of COVID-19 crisis”. The court posted the case for further hearing on December 20.
The plea alleged that no COVID-19 test was conducted on Mr. Pandey at the time of admission. It said there were two-three patients on each bed and up to three patients were taken to the ultrasound lab at a time.
