A heated discussion took place on the last day of Winter Session on the judicial commission's report on the deaths of women after sterilisation surgeries.
The Leader of opposition T S Singhdeo alleged no action was taken against the guilty officials even after the judicial inquiry report came out.
The report had noted that negligence in following the standard operating procedure for tubectomy camps and poison- laced medicines led to the incident, he said.
Government ordered probe but never revealed the action taken on the report, he said.

Singhdeo also sought to know whether the action was taken against the drug manufacturer under Drug and Cosmetics Act.
Replying to the discussion, Health and Family Welfare Minister Ajay Chandrakar said the state government was not trying to save anyone.
Doctors from AIIMS Delhi, Apollo Hyderabad and other medical institutes were pressed into service for the treatment of affected women. Government ordered probe on next day of the incident, Chandrakar said, describing the incident as serious and unfortunate.
The minister assured the House that as soon as the court cases are over, all necessary action will be taken for implementation of commission's recommendations.
New guidelines have been issued, wherein, such camps can be held only at places which meet the norms fixed by the state government, he said.
Health facilities were expanded during the BJP regime in the state, he claimed.
While 12 women who were operated upon at the camp in Pendari village of Bilaspur on November 8, 2014, died, a protected Baiga tribe woman was the lone casualty from the camps in Pendra block on November 10, 2014.
