HC orders transfer of deputy superintendent of M Y Hospital

Madhya Pradesh High Court, hearing three PILs on the death of two children at the government-run M Y Hospital here due to alleged accidental administration of anaesthesia, today ordered transfer of its deputy superintendent.
A division bench of Justices P K Jaiswal and D K Paliwal directed the state government to transfer the deputy superintendent of the hospital Dr Sunil Narang within 15 days.
Advocate Manish Yadav, lawyer of Pramod Dwivedi, one of the petitioners, said they had contended, by placing evidence before the court, that Dr Narang was "influencing" the probe and he should be suspended or shunted out.

The PILs have demanded compensation for the parents and registration of criminal cases against those responsible for the deaths.
A pipe in a newly inaugurated operation theatre of M Y Hospital which was supposed to supply oxygen allegedly supplied the anaesthetic nitrous oxide gas due to a mix-up in the installation.
It led to death of Ayush (5) and Rajvir (1) during surgeries in the last week of May.
