The medical superintendent at the Lok Nayak Hospital, Dr Yogesh Kumar Sarin, said both the mother and child were healthy. 




As per a senior MCD health official, there was a shortage of water in the north MCD areas, and therefore, the hospital administration had been asked to arrange water through Delhi Jal Board tanker.
“The water tanker did not come yesterday because of which the problem occurred. We have issued a strict directive to the hospitals that they should store water supplied by the DJB tankers. Refusing admission on this ground is not at all justified,” said the official.
