9, News Desk: After an overnight
incident in which a crowd gathered there and questioned the authorities,
alleging that five people had died in a day due to "negligence,"
officials said on Friday that a heavy police presence had been placed at a
civic-run hospital in Thane, Maharashtra.
Although
the event happened late on Thursday night at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
Hospital in Kalwa, the hospital's administration refuted the allegations,
stating that just one patient died away there during the daytime as opposed to
the claim of five fatalities.
On
Friday morning, NCP leader Awhad released a statement in which he alleged,
"As many as five people died at the hospital in a single day (on Thursday)
due to the negligence of the medical staff. While on the one hand, patients are
not being admitted to the hospital on the pretext of a paucity of beds, the
deceased ones are kept in the ICU for hours." Writing about it on X
