At the same time, the news of death of 10 children and injury of many children due to fire in SP Chief Jhansi Medical College is very sad and worrying. Akhilesh said that the cause of the fire is being said to be fire in the ‘oxygen concentrator’. This is either a direct case of negligence of medical management and administration or of poor quality oxygen concentrator.

Punitive action should be taken against all those responsible in this case. Chief Minister should leave the election campaign and ‘false claims of everything being fine’ and focus on the plight of health and medicine, only those families who have lost their children can understand its pain. This is not only a government but also a moral responsibility. It is hoped that in this hour of family crisis, those doing election politics will get a true inquiry done and will make radical changes in their so-called Health and Medical Ministry from top to bottom.
On the instructions of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy CM Brajesh Pathak reached Jhansi with a team of senior officials. He has ordered an investigation into the fire. Also, financial assistance of Rs 5 lakh each has been announced for the families of the deceased children and Rs 50 thousand each for the injured children.
Actually, Uttar Pradesh CA Yogi Adityanath has been continuously active since this accident. Taking cognizance of the incident, CM Yogi has asked the Divisional Commissioner and DIG of Jhansi to submit the report within 12 hours. Actually, everyone is hurt about this incident.
