Another girl child of the Government Children’s Home on Prag Narayan Road died during treatment on Tuesday. With this, the number of girls who died has gone up to four. At the same time, the condition of a child admitted in the civil hospital remains critical.

The team of the CMO, which arrived to investigate the children’s home, claims that there were not enough arrangements to protect the innocent from the cold. Due to lack of proper care in December-January, the children caught cold and got pneumonia. The civil hospital administration also says that the children were brought in critical condition. DPO Vikas Singh has ordered a magisterial inquiry along with post-mortem. Along with this, an immediate report has been sought while issuing a show cause notice to the Children’s Home Superintendent. Dinesh Rawat has been made in-charge to supervise the arrangements of the children’s home. In the case, the children’s home management says that the girls were brought to the crèche in critical condition.

Children’s Home Superintendent Kinshaku Tripathi and Dr. Sudarshan told that when Antara was brought in in December, she was 10-15 days old. He died on 10 February. Earlier she was admitted from 19 to 28 January. After being discharged, he was admitted again when his health deteriorated. At the same time, about 15 days old Lakshmi, who was brought to the children’s home in December, was not feeling well since then. Meanwhile, he continued to be treated. On January 23, he was admitted to the civil hospital after fever again. He died during treatment on 11 February.

Ayushi was also brought in in December, when she was 16 days old. On losing weight, he was shown to KGMU and Civil Hospital. On the morning of February 8, the doctor again examined him. He was admitted to the hospital after his health deteriorated at night. He was having trouble breathing. He died on 12 February. Similarly, when Deepa was brought in in December, she was 20 days old. He had pneumonia. Meanwhile, he was also diagnosed with Thalassemia. He was admitted to the hospital several times. Admitted even after fever on 23 January. He also died on Tuesday. At the same time, the bone marrow test of one and a half month old child who came four-five days back has been done. His platelets are continuously decreasing. At present he is admitted in Civil Hospital.

The DPO has issued a show cause notice to Children’s Home Superintendent Kinshuk Tripathi and sought a reply by Thursday morning. A magisterial inquiry has also been ordered. The DPO said that there was no negligence on the part of the children’s home at the level of treatment. When the children fell ill, they were immediately taken to the hospital and treated. However, why the children are not able to survive, only doctors will be able to tell. Nevertheless, at what level the negligence has taken place in the children’s home, action will be taken against the culprits after investigating it.

CMS of Civil Hospital Dr. RP Singh said that the children were brought to the hospital in critical condition. The condition of two was extremely critical, who were sent to KGMU. Now one child is admitted. The team of doctors is constantly monitoring him. There has been no negligence in the treatment.
