The Story in Brief
LiveLaw reports that the Delhi High Court has expressed shock after discovering 400 ventilators and 910 oxygen concentrators lying unused at a government hospital. The court remarked the situation was 'quite shocking' during a hearing on August 13.
The bench directed the hospital to explain why life-saving equipment was not deployed. The court is likely to examine the procurement and maintenance processes that led to such wastage.
The Indian Opinion
The discovery of unused ventilators and oxygen concentrators is a scandal that feeds the narrative of government incompetence. But the real issue is whether procurement was unhinged from need or if poor maintenance kept them idle. Either way, taxpayers suffer. The court must now force a clear accounting of every piece of equipment and fix responsibility.
