Need Exemplary Punishment

0


What people want? Only compensation? and that too in form of money? Will that restore the lives of the 91 patients who had been victims of the devastating fire broke out on Friday? Will that help people forget the entire incident (I should say accident) and come to normal life? No, money can not restore the lives, nor can subdue the anger of those who lost their keens here. The protesters of the horrible accident put up posters in the hospital premises demanding exemplary punishment for its officials.

If anything can boil down the seethed anger of the people that is exemplary punishment. The Govt already took action by cancelling the license of the hospital. The hospital authority realizing the public's fury took shelter by surrendering to the police. But that doesn’t mean the problem has been solved. What more can be taken to show the state or and country that offenders of such incidents should not be Exempted.

AMRI at a Glance

AMRI, Advanced Medical Research Institute shown the world what they could do to ensure safety health. The Friday accident pointed out the loop holes and carelessness existed in the hospital security and how much they were indifferent. The report has shown that the lack of security measures had been there and the insufficient arrangements of fire extinguishing system. The basement floor was covered with medical garbage along with many inflammable materials that should have been expected in the hospital. The local slum dwellers said in front of the press that they were not allowed to go inside to rescue the patents suffering and dying in suffocation. They all were the helpless spectators of the innocent patients there..















Son told to pay dues to see his mother

What can be worse when a son is asked to pay the due to see his dying mother inside the hospital bed? This happened in AMRI hospital on Friday when Biswanath Das asked the guards to let him in to see his mother. The guards did not allow him and asked him to pay the dues to see his mother. As per the guards statement they can’t allow a patient to leave without clearing dues. They did not comment on the point that Mr. Das has asked them let him go in.

"How can a human being say that to another?" Das keeps asking himself. "How can anyone be so insensitive? If I had been allowed in, I just might have rescued my mother. For all you know, she might have been alive when I was arguing with the guard at the hospital. It was 5am," he said.

Mr. Das said that he could not stay at home when he heard the accident and rushed to the hospital. He had already paid 70,000 and he could not carry the remaining 15,000 when news spread. His first aim was to rescue his mother from the ablaze hospital. He even pleaded the guards to let him rescue his mother and he would pay the rest 15,000. But the guards did not listen to his pray nor did they take action to rescue the mother. The old and 60-year-old mother gasped her last breaths on Bed No. 2319 inside the hospital. None could rescue her but let her die helplessly.
