The Gujarat high court expressed surprise over Trivedi's submission and said if the state was not intimated about a Covid-19 facility, how was it possible for it to compile data on coronavirus patients who are hospitalised.
AHMEDABAD: The Gujarat High Court on Tuesday criticised the state government over the recent fire at a Covid-19 hospital in Bharuch, saying it was contemptuous on its part to not remain vigilant and avoid such incidents, and cited many orders passed in this regard in the past.
A division bench expressed surprise over Advocate General Kamal Trivedi's submission that the Covid-19 facility at the trust-run Bharuch Welfare Hospital, where the fire on May 1 killed 18 people, was set up "surreptitiously, without intimating the authorities".
