News Topical, Digital Desk : A shocking case of oxygen cylinder theft from a government hospital in Kashipur, Udham Singh Nagar district, has caused a stir within the health department. A police complaint has been filed in this matter. This incident occurred at LD Bhatt Government Hospital in Kashipur, Udham Singh Nagar district, where cylinders stored in the government hospital's store were stolen.

If sources are to be believed, approximately 100 oxygen cylinders were stolen from the hospital, but the hospital's Chief Medical Officer (CMS) has admitted to the theft. Surprisingly, only 3 to 4 cylinders have been reported to the police.

Terror of thieves in hospital

Thieves are rampant at the LD Bhatt Sub-District Government Hospital in Kashipur, Udham Singh Nagar district. The number of thefts is steadily increasing. Previously, thieves have stolen bikes and air conditioners from this hospital, and now, oxygen cylinders have been stolen from the hospital.

When news of the cylinder theft spread like wildfire throughout the city, the health department was shaken. The primary reason for the thefts is that drug addicts can be seen gathering around the hospital throughout the day. It's worth noting that during the last COVID-19 pandemic, various social organizations across the city donated oxygen cylinders to the government hospital to ensure oxygen supply for patients.

However, there was no oxygen plant installed here. Now that the government hospital has installed an oxygen plant, the oxygen cylinders were safely stored in a warehouse within the hospital and locked. However, thieves exposed the hospital administration's misdeeds, and according to sources, approximately 100 cylinders have disappeared.

CMS of government hospital gave this information

Sandeep Kumar Dixit, CMS of the Government Hospital, stated that he had been here for only six to seven months. He had not yet learned how many cylinders were present. However, he has determined that oxygen cylinders have been stolen from here, and a case of oxygen cylinder theft has been filed against unknown thieves.

For security purposes, a PRD soldier has been deployed and CCTV cameras have been installed. The department is also conducting a thorough investigation. Only after this investigation will the exact quantity of the cylinder be determined.
