30 kids died in hospital without oxygen. This is not a tragedy. It’s a massacre. Is this what 70 years of freedom means for our children?

Rajeev Rautela, the district magistrate, said that the deaths seem to be due to lack of oxygen supply but at present, the administration has denied the statement. State health minister Siddharth Nath Singh stated that they couldn’t come to an end until the reports of the incident are acquired.
People come to the hospital to save their lives but when hospital itself becomes the reason for death it is a most horrible thing to digest. Negligence of department took children’s life. It is the place where both births and deaths take place.
