Chandigarh: Minister of Manohar Minister Haryana Lal Khattar said on Monday told the state assembly that his government would form a committee to investigate the possibility of negligence by the hospital in treating Covid patients.

Opposition leader Bhupinder Singh Hooda also read TOI reports, regarding the probe carried out by the administrative district of Hisar, stressed that five people died in private hospitals in Hisar because of lack of oxygen.
However, Khattar told the house that he would make a formal statement about this problem on Tuesday.
He also tried to avoid discussions about this problem during zero time by referring to several legislative assembly rules.
Even the speaker Gian Chand Gupta told Hooda that CM was not bound to respond to whatever questions were submitted for zero hours.
“You have misled the house, the souls of the people who die of the lack of oxygen in the state will not forgive the government for such an attitude,” Hooda said at home who asked her statement back.
