KANPUR (UP): Five elderly patients died in the ICU of a state-run hospital here during the last two days, with their attendants alleging that AC plant failure was the reason for their deaths, a charge denied by hospital authorities.
While the attendants alleged that the AC plant in the ICU of Lala Lajpat Rai Hospital was not working for several days leading to their deaths, the principal of the Ganesh Shankar Vidyarthi Medical College said the patients died due to serious illness and not because of any AC failure.
