NEW DELHI: The
National Commission for Scheduled Tribes (NCST) has issued notice to the Union health secretary and director of
AIIMS, New Delhi over a petition that seeks to prevent the shifting of the conjoined twins from Odisha, who were separated after a surgery, from the premier medial institute here to its Bhubaneswar branch.
The petition claims that AIIMS, Bhubaneswar does not have the infrastructure required for the care and treatment of the twins - Jaga and Balia.
The
National Human Rights Commission (
NHRC) has now asked the health ministry and AIIMS to submit the facts and information on the action taken on the matter within 15 days. PTI
