MURDER BY NEGLIGENCE

70   /   79   /   72

==============

70 years after India attained independence from the British rule , 79 children died in a Gorakhpur Hospital , for want of Oxygen supply , within 72 hours

For their parents , Gorakhpur turned into Horrorpur  !

And , as expected ( - literally “ scripted “ in government manual in such crisis situations ) , CM Yogi Adityanathji announced following “ Exemplary “ punishments :

·         Set up a high-powered committee to investigate what caused these deaths - since UP government says : Deaths did not occur due to lack of Oxygen !

·          

Expect the Committee to write a 300 page report in 3 months to say : Deaths occurred due to stoppage of brain – due to stoppage of heart !

·         Announce a compensation of Rs 5 lakhs to the parents of each dead child

·         “ Suspend “ the Principal of the Medical College ( to be reinstated when the report of the high powered committee gets released ? )

I don’t think anyone expected Yogiji to resign like Lal Bahadur Shastriji , who resigned by taking responsibility for a train accident !

Apparently , Yogiji was too busy to visit the hospital for next 2 days !

If readers want to know WHO, WHEN and HOW can stop the recurrence of such “ Murder by Negligence “ , there is ONLY ONE answer , viz :

·         When a Start Up invents ( - and the Supreme Court orders mandatory implementation by all State and Central Government ) , a TECHNOLOGY whereby the Electricity and Water Supply to the homes and offices of the Ministers ( of the concerned / responsible government ) STOPS AUTOMATICALLY , the moment Oxygen Pressure in any hospital falls below 50 % of the optimum level

And , please do not insult our Start Ups by saying : You cannot find such a solution  !

Till such time expect to see such headlines in morning newspapers , every 2 years , covering varied incidences of “ Murder by Negligence “
