Srinagar, Sept 24: The government on Thursday suspended incharge Executive Engineer, Hospital Division Mechanical Engineering Department Jammu, and Deputy Medical Superintendent, Super Specialty Hospital Jammu after an enquiry committee found mismanagement, leading to the poor service delivery system to the patients particularly those suffering from COVID-19.

On 23 September, the government had ordered an enquiry into the “shortage of oxygen in the Covid-19 care areas” in Government Medical College and Hospital, Jammu;

“The consumption of the oxygen cylinders which is very high needs to be regulated and the consumption of such high quantity of oxygen needs to be inquired in detail.
