The response to an RTI query, put forward by an activist, seeking details regarding the investigation into the fire that occurred in Mulund’s Apex Hospital in October last year has revealed that there were several discrepancies in the hospital, which allegedly led to the death of two COVID-19 patients. But the report submitted by a four-member committee appointed to probe the matter only mentions that the hospital has been told to demolish certain illegal structures and that these structures have no connection with the deaths.
RTI activist and president of NGO Yuvashahi, Janak Keshariya says the report mentions certain discrepancies, but the committee has ignored all of them.
