“Nobody gave my child oxygen”: Infant dies at UP Govt hospital
Grieving father alleges medical negligence
Fatehpur: A heart-wrenching video has emerged from Fatehpur district, Uttar Pradesh, showing a grieving father, Shahrukh, in tears after the death of his newborn son Aryan, allegedly due to medical negligence at a government hospital.
The incident occurred on Wednesday at Sardar Hospital, where Shahrukh, a resident of Lakhipur village in the Khaga Kotwali area, had rushed his ailing child after he was referred from a local community health centre.
In a viral video, Shahrukh is seen sitting on the floor of the hospital, crying inconsolably. “10 minute ho gaya mere bache ko oxygen nahi lagaya, mere bache ko kisi ne hath nahi lagaya,” he sobs — which translates to, “It’s been 10 minutes, nobody gave oxygen to my child, nobody even touched him.”
According to the family, Aryan’s health had suddenly deteriorated on Wednesday afternoon. He was first taken to the Hardo Community Health Centre in Khaga, where doctors reportedly declared him critical and advised immediate transfer to the district hospital. However, upon reaching the emergency ward of Sardar Hospital, the family alleges that no medical staff attended to the newborn.
Despite reportedly arriving in time, the child was allegedly denied examination, oxygen support, or any initial treatment. Aryan died shortly after.
Local authorities have not yet issued an official statement. The video has sparked widespread outrage on social media, raising serious questions about the state of emergency care in public hospitals.
बहुत दर्दनाक है 💔

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
