Claims anti-social, inhuman elements are creating artificial shortage to enrich themselves
A Mumbai hospital treating COVID-19 patients has moved the Supreme Court accusing a local supplier of denying it oxygen supply since April 12 and forcing it to shift its patients to other hospitals. Crystal Hospital Ltd, renamed NIHS Re-Life Hospital Ltd, said many hospitals were suffering from similar “artificial shortage” in oxygen supply. “The problem faced by the petitioner’s hospital is not one peculiar to them, but faced by many designated hospitals like the petitioner, and the artificial shortage has been created by anti-social and inhuman elements, with the sole purpose of unduly enriching at the cost of the lives of fellow human beings,” the petitioner, represented by advocate Manju Jetley Sharma, said.More Related News
