Bengaluru: As many as 24 patients, including COVID-19 positive cases, died at a government hospital in Karnataka allegedly due to oxygen shortage.

The incident took place in Chamarajanagar district on Sunday night.

“The deaths were reported after there was a fall in oxygen supply between 12 am to 2 am on Sunday night,” a senior hospital official was quoted as saying by NDTV.

At least 144 patients are being treated at the hospital, he added.

Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa has spoken to the district collector over the incident and called an emergency Cabinet meeting on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, Karnataka Home Minister Basavaraja Bommai has asked the DGP-IGP Praveen Sood to investigate the matter and submit a comprehensive report for further action.

Sources said a total of 250 oxygen cylinders were sent to the hospital from Mysore in the middle of the night as emergency stock.
