Tempers ran high as agitated relatives of the 13 patients who lost their lives in the fire incident at a Covid-19 hospital in Maharashtra's Virar gheraod ministers, officials and hospital staff seeking answers for the death of their dear ones.
Some of them claimed that the air conditioner was faulty and the administration of Virar's Vallabh Hospital and Medical Research Centre was aware of it.
Besides, they also said that the hospital staff was sleeping when the fire broke out and that the patients could not be evacuated in time.
“There were some problems in the air conditioner yesterday…I also saw some repair work being done,” said an employee of the hospital. “They set up some fans on a temporary basis,” she added.
