The West Bengal government will take action against the AMRI Hospital where 36 patients suffocated to death after a fire broke out in its premises today.
"The state government will take strong action against the AMRI group for the death of so many patients after completion of the rescue operations," Public Health Engineering Minister Subrata Mukherjee told reporters after visiting the hospital.
"It was horrifying that the hospital authorities did not make any effort to rescue trapped patients," Mukherjee said.
"Senior hospital authorities ran away after the fire broke out," he said.
