This question was also raised that doors and windows are broken, sewage water enters, water dripping from the roof. When numerous times the administrative officers of the hospital write to the PWD, then the responsibility is theirs to ensure that timely repair is done,” Sharma told reporters on Sunday.

A day before, Pilot had said that instead of pointing out the “misdeeds’ of the previous government, the emphasis should be on “fixing accountability.

“RMRS meetings happen regularly. These public representatives who raise questions, do they go to these meetings? If they go in these meetings, they will come to know at that time which equipment in this hospital is non functional, what is to be purchased. Rs. 6 crore is available. Had the public representatives there went to the meetings regularly, or had sent their representatives, then they themselves would have known that the hospital had certain shortcomings. It is the responsibility of every person , and this is such a topic that no person can shirk from his responsibility,” Sharma added.
