It was highly distressing to read the media reports of the loss of lives in Delhi and other places in i India due to oxygen crisis. Families send their dear ones to hospitals for saving their lives and not to lose them forever. If a vehicle drivers or doctors cause deaths due to their negligence in their duties they are punished as per the laws of the land by the courts. But who is accountable to all the loss of lives due to mismanagement of oxygen, Coved medicines ,vaccines and vaccine prices, medical man power, hospital beds and ambulances? The Courts had been repeatedly warning the central and state governments regarding the chaos in the management of Covid pandemic. Yet, the governments didn’t listen to any y body’s advice. Who advised them that, conducting assembly and local elections and other gatherings are of paramount importance amidst this medical crisis? This resulted in the diversion of the resources and attention of the leaders to election matters from a humanitarian crisis facing the nation. India’s shallow medical infrastructure status stand exposed to the world despites the tall claims of “top emerging economy and “future Asian leader.” The doctors who are toiling and risking their lives to save lives of their patients are silently fuming over the man made crisis and the nation is also watching the clumsy handling of pandemic with unbelievable happenings. But no prompt measures are taken to make alright the oxygen supply to hospitals which are making distress calls to the governments . Failure to arrange for required quantity of oxygen to hospitals and patients at home and allow them to die gasping for oxygen Is a crime against humanity deserving severe punishment .
