In the wake of the oxygen leak
tragedy in Nashik that claimed 22 lives, the authorities in Pune have asked all the government, civic-run and private hospitals in the district to conduct a third-party safety audit of the oxygen supply system located in their premises.
Pune District Collector Rajesh Deshmukh issued an order to this effect on Thursday.
All the government, civic-run as well as private hospitals should carry out a third-party safety audit of the oxygen supply system to ensure that the plant, oxygen supply mechanism, and other technical things are safe and in good position, the order said.
The hospitals later need to inform the civic bodies and the district administration by sending letters that their oxygen supply system is safe and secure.
