New Delhi: Deputy CM Manish Sisodia on Friday said that Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijaal once again rejected the Delhi Government proposal to form the investigation committee to investigate the number of deaths caused by the second Covid-19 wave.
Resources at the LG office said the high-level committee was the direction of the Supreme Court had looked into this problem and established another panel for the same purpose would create confusion.
Sisodia, however, said the committee appointed by the APEX court was only to maintain the problem of oxygen supply in Delhi, not to investigate the number of deaths.
The Delhi government has formed the Committee in investigating health experts to investigate death due to lack of oxygen and provide compensation for RS 5 lakh for each victim’s family.
However, the proposal was not approved by LG, after the file was sent back by the Delhi government recently.
Sisodia has also written to the Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah and the Minister of Health of the Mansukh Mandaviya Union and even approached LG to approve the Demand Committee.
“LG views that no death occurs in Delhi due to lack of oxygen, so it does not need to form an investigation committee.
On the one hand, the central government asks countries for the details of death due to lack of oxygen, on the other hand it does not give approval to the investigation committee so that it can Claiming that there are no deaths that occur, “said Sisodia.
“It will be a big lie to say this and play with the sentiments of those who lose their loved ones,” he added.
LG’s sources of office said the statement was misleading because LG and the center said that death due to lack of oxygen should not be investigated.
On July 6 and August 19 it was said that the high-level committee was the direction of SC – where regardless of senior and famous doctors, the Delhi Government ACS (Health) is also a member – has seen this problem.
The Committee has submitted a temporary report and works on the final report.
The source said, “The Minister of Health of the Union and LG has reaffirmed that the Committee must be permitted to do his work.
Prepare other committees will create confusion.
The government has also been advised to follow the direction of the court.” The scope of the SC committee is only to maintain the problem of oxygen supply and not To investigate death.
Why does the center ask the Delhi government to submit death data due to lack of oxygen, but use the LG office to stop it from compiling this information? Why is the center so desperate about hiding the truth related to death due to lack of oxygen in Delhi? “Asked Sisodia .
