Six directors on the board of the hospital surrendered them to the police the same afternoon and were arrested.
It was a tragic incidence where 91 people died and it was an irrepairable loss to the family members of the persons who died in the incident.
It was a matter of fact that there was negligency towards fire safety at the hospital and it was obligatory on part of the directors of the hospital to surrender themselves to the law of Land.
But surprisingly, three directors of the board did not surrender for the negligence nor did the police or the government tried to arrest them. WHY?
Because one of them was a renowned doctor and the other two were govt nominated directors. Was it not their duty to keep a track on the activities of the hospital? Or they are supreme being government employees? Shameful. Law should be equal for everyone. May it be a common man or even the Chief Minister of the State or the Prime Minister of the country.
A person did in the SSKM hospital owned by the Govt. of West Bengal. Reason : A mouse had eaten away the private part of the man. Should the Health Minister not be arrested? Should the Medical Superintendent and other authorities not be arrested? Shame on the West Bengal Government.
Coming back to the fire incidence. How many private or government hospitals in West Bengal have proper infrastructure to fight fire at the first instance? Do all the private and Govt hospitals in West Bengal have sprinklers, smoke detectors and alarm systems as specified by the Law?
Would the West Bengal Govt like to answer this question or they would still pretend to be ignorant?
If the Government of West Bengal has an answer, let them come in open and put it to the knowledge of the people through print and digital media.
