36 deaths in university in a month Covid havoc at Aligarh Muslim University, call for scrutiny The varsity has lost more than three dozen present and former teachers and other employees, 16 of whom lived on campus or in the neighbourhood
Aligarh Muslim University has lost more than three dozen present and former teachers and other employees, including at least one doctor from the campus hospital, to Covid in the past one month.
All of them – including the former teachers and the 16 serving teachers who died lived on the campus and its neighbourhood, university sources said.
University honorary secretary Najmul Islam said one possible reason for the high toll could be the inflow of Covid patients at the on-campus J.N. Medical College and Hospital, the principal healthcare facility for Aligarh and surrounding districts.
