The hotel authorities reportedly know about electricity pitfalls but couldn’t rectify.
The terrible fire accident at COVID Care hospital in Vijayawada left everyone shocked.
According to the official reports, 9 people died by suffocation, and one woman succumbed to severe burns.Also, 21 people were admitted to hospital in a pathetic condition out of which, six people were regarded as safe and discharged to home.
Still, 15 people are under treatment and are out of danger.
According to a few media reports, the negligence of the hotel management is the primary cause for the short circuit.
Swarna Palace Hotel, which has later made into a private COVID treatment centre, had some electricity drawbacks in the past.It has only one single door for the entry and the exit.
Even the smoke detectors are of low cost and don’t work properly.The hotel authorities have already known about it but disregarded as they felt it as unnecessary spending, stated Tahsildar in the report submission.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi phoned to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and enquired about the accident.The Chief Minister has announced 50 lakh rupee ex gratia to each deceased and assured severe punishment on the Hotel authorities if found guilty.
