Rewari/Gurugram, April 25
In Haryana, eight Covid patients — four in Rewari and an equal number in Gurugram — died at two private hospitals on Sunday. Blaming shortage of oxygen for the deaths, the kin of the deceased in Rewari held a protest on the hospital premises. The Deputy Commissioner has set up an inquiry under the ADC to probe the deaths and submit a report in 48 hours.
“Our oxygen tanker was held up in Bawal this morning. We made several calls to the offices of the district administration but there was no response. As of now, we have 90 Covid patients in our hospital,” said hospital director Dr Virat, adding that an oxygen tanker had reached the hospital after the deaths.
