Gorakhpur infants' death: Probe panel submits report

August 22, 2017 20:53

The high-power committee probing the Gorakhpur hospital tragedy today submitted its report to the Uttar Pradesh government.

The committee headed by chief secretary Rajive Kumar submitted the report to the government this evening, an official spokesperson said.

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had formed the committee on August 12 to probe the incident, a day after deaths of scores of children in the state-run BRD Medical College was reported.

UP Medical Education minister Ashutosh Tandon had said that action would be taken against those found guilty in the probe.

As the first action, the government had suspended the college principal Dr Rajiv Mishra, who subsequently put in his papers accepting moral responsibility for the tragedy.
