Patients were rested on the floor, as proper beds were not arranged ahead of conducting surgery. Severe action would be taken against the health official responsible for this negligence.
CMO Chandauli R N Singh, however, disproved claims of sterilization surgery on 27 women performed by a single doctor in one hour and said that the surgery was performed by two doctors and all procedures were followed except arranging proper bed for the patients.
