While talking to media, principal Navneet Kumar admitted that there were problems in the AC plant, yesterday, but problems were fixed, however they again cropped up.
“The ICU has serious patients but none died due to AC failure,” Kumar told media.
He said the technicians have been asked to rectify the problem in the AC plant at the earliest and a probe has been instituted into the matter.
The deceased patients were identified as Indrapal (75) of Nurwal, Ganga Prasad Yadav (75) of Budhi-Khera Unnao, Rasool Baksh (62) of Sandeela Hardoi, Murari Lal (65) of Azamgarh and another person whose identity could not be established immediately.
This is not the first time that patients have died due to ‘hospital negligence’ in Uttar Pradesh hospitals.
In 2017, over 60 children lost their lives between August 10 and 14 at the Baba Raghav Das Medical College in the city, the home constituency of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. At least 30 of them died within 48 hours due to shortage of oxygen supply.
