The Delhi High Court has cast a spotlight on the Center and the Delhi government regarding the death of an individual who jumped from a PCR van on January 2. The court has posed significant inquiries regarding why four government hospitals did not admit the individual, raising serious concerns about the response and actions taken in this tragic incident.

A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan asked the Delhi government whether you have allocated a separate budget for Mohalla Clinics or have you transferred it there from the hospital funds. The court said that if this is done, then the funds for hospitals should be increased.

The court asked the Central and Delhi governments to investigate the matter and file an affidavit. It was also directed to file a reply regarding ensuring the availability of beds in hospitals. The next hearing in the case will be on January 29.

During the hearing, advocate Satyakam, appearing for the Delhi government, said that he would file a reply after taking instructions in this regard. The court said that in the last two to three years, I have been watching such incidents happen continuously in Delhi. The court said, How can it be that ICU and ventilator beds are not available in Delhi?

The court said that you should consider that the patient goes to four hospitals and does not get a bed in any of them. After all, how can this continue? The court said that it is a very surprising fact that there are no beds in two hospitals of the Central and Delhi governments. The question is also how the Delhi Police itself could not admit the person who jumped from the PCR van of Delhi Police to any hospital.

The court said that if an accident occurs in South Delhi, you cannot send an injured patient to East Delhi. On January 2, a person had jumped from the PCR van and the police took him to four hospitals, but he was not admitted anywhere due to non-availability of beds. Ultimately the person died on January 3.
