In wake of all the tragedies that Gorakhpur has been experiencing lately, the official website of the BRD Medical College, http://www.brdmc.org/ has been suspended.
Patients cannot view important things like the appointment with doctor, the date, services available and the cost of treatment on the site. The suspension of the website has also caused a lot of trouble for them in getting a doctor’s appointment now.
Taking the death toll to 70, another child battled for life and succumbed to encephalitis on Sunday, in Gorakhpur’s Baba Raghav Das Medical College hospital.
Till Friday, the death toll stood at 60.
Uttar Pradesh chief minister, Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said that a magisterial inquiry has been ordered into the matter and a committee has been formed to look into the tragedy.
He is scheduled to visit the hospital on Sunday along with Union health minister, JP Nadda.
Adityanath had said that “he has asked a team of top ministers to determine if the death of the children was actually due to a disruption in oxygen supply at the hospital and assured to “not spare anyone found guilty”.
“We have suspended the principal of the BRD Medical College and taking him guilty for his actions and an investigation on him has already been ordered and is underway. Those found guilty won’t be spared”, he added.
