Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government on Thursday claimed in the Legislative Council that no death has been reported in the state due to lack of oxygen during the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. On a question asked by Congress member Deepak Singh during Question Hour, State Health Minister Jai Pratap Singh said, “No death has been reported in the state due to lack of oxygen during the second wave of corona virus epidemic.”
Deepak Singh, while giving his stand on this, said, “Many ministers of the government have written letters saying that due to lack of oxygen in the state, deaths are taking place. Apart from this, many MPs have also made such complaints. Several incidents of death due to lack of oxygen have been reported in Uttar Pradesh. Does the government have any information about the deaths due to lack of oxygen in the entire state. Did the state government not see the dead bodies floating in the Ganges and people suffering due to lack of oxygen?

SP member Udayveer Singh questioned, “Uttar Pradesh government took action against Paras Hospital in Agra because the video of the doctor of his hospital had gone viral and the fact also came to the fore that half of the patients were suffering due to lack of oxygen.” Oxygen was given and half of the patients died due to lack of oxygen supply as the oxygen supply was stopped on the instructions of the District Magistrate.
The state government itself took action in this matter, so how can it make a false statement in the House that no one died due to lack of oxygen in Uttar Pradesh.” The State Health Minister said that in case of death of a hospitalized patient, the doctor gives his death certificate in writing. There is no mention of death due to lack of oxygen anywhere in the death certificate of any of the 22915 patients who have died due to COVID-19 in the state so far. He said that these people died due to various diseases and incurable diseases. There was a lack of oxygen before.

Everyone knows that during that time oxygen was arranged by bringing it from other states. As far as Paras Hospital is concerned, a complete investigation was done in that case. The investigation report of the District Magistrate and the Commissioner of Police had also come in which there was talk of conducting a mock drill. There is no mention of any death due to lack of oxygen in it. On this, Udayveer Singh objected and said that if the state government writes deleted instead of death in the death certificate, will the truth of death change.
When the government sent someone to jail for death due to oxygen shutdown, then how can it say that no one died due to lack of oxygen.
Deepak Singh argued that the ministers in the government who had written letters related to lack of oxygen were false. Leader of the House Dinesh Sharma said that the Health Minister has given the answer to the question asked. The members of the opposition must say that it was due to the promptness and promptness of the Uttar Pradesh government that the availability of medicines and arrangements for treatment were successful, due to which we were able to avert a possible major accident.
