Terming
the Hospital fire incident
in Rajkot of Gujarat as
shocking, the Supreme Court has on Friday sought response from
the state government in this regard.
The apex court took a suo
motu cognisance of the incident. As
many as five coronavirus patients were charred to death and six others injured
in the fire that broke out in a Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a private hospital
at 1230 hrs.
A three-judge Bench of
Justices Ashok Bhushan, R Subhash Reddy and MR Shah said that recurrence of
such fire accidents needs thorough introspection. The
Top Court will again hear the matter on December 1, 2020.
