JAIPUR: A day after eight patients died in a tragic fire at the Trauma Centre of Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur, senior Congress leader and former Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Ashok Gehlot, has demanded a judicial enquiry into the incident. However, Rajasthan Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa and Health Minister Jawahar Singh Bedham stated that a six-member panel had already been set up to look into the tragedy.
Gehlot surveyed the trauma centre in the aftermath of the fire and met with grieving families who had lost their loved ones in the blaze.
He argued that transparency is needed as families of the deceased patients deserve clear answers about the fire, cause, and handling of the crisis.
