The fire in a Delhi children's hospital last week - in which seven infants were killed - has prompted a swipe from Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, who declared himself "disappointed" that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj had "paid only lip service and given sound bites (to the press)... and shirked responsibility" since the gut-wrenching incident. Have asked Chief Secy to institute an inquiry into the tragic incidents of fire in children's hospital in Delhi. Also instructed CP to ensure all that is needful.My heartfelt condolences to bereaved families.I assure all relief & will ensure that guilty are brought to book.
Mr Saxena said he had been compelled "in public interest" to order an anti-corruption probe into possible lapses in registration and regulatory management of private nursing homes in the city.
"... ACB has been directed to undertake a comprehensive inquiry into the registration of nursing homes in the city, to assess how many nursing homes are functioning without valid registrations and if those that have a valid registration comply with prescribed norms..." Mr Saxena said.
