Patients' death: MCH official gheraoed

By Our Staff Reporter

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM Nov. 11. Activists of the All India Youth Federation (AIYF) blockaded the office of the Superintendent of the Medical College for over two hours on Tuesday demanding that a judicial probe be conducted into the death of two patients at the Medical College, allegedly due to the unavailability of ventilators.

The AIYF activists insisted that they would not disperse unless the authorities gave their assurance that they would look into the incident.

The Principal of the Medical College and other officials who reached the spot spoke to the AIYF men and gave their assurance that an inquiry report would be submitted to the authorities within the next two days.

The AIYF later said in a statement that it would submit a public interest litigation before the High Court seeking an end to corruption in the Medical College hospital.
