The district administration has set up an inquiry committee headed by ADM (City) to look into the death of 54 people within 48 hours. This committee would investigate if the deaths of these children were abnormal. On one hand, the DM is claiming that no death has been caused by oxygen shortage and, on the other, he has set up an inquiry committee. The UP government is claiming that oxygen shortage has not caused these deaths as has the state health minister. The question is that if the state government and the administration have already decided that oxygen shortage is not the cause of death, then what is the point of setting up an inquiry committee? Any inquiry on any other issue would mean that the authorities have already started looking for a scapegoat to blame because everyone knew that payment was overdue to the company supplying liquid oxygen. Why were payments not made in time? Why was oxygen supply stopped? Everyone wants to escape the responsibility for this.
