Deputy CM Manish Sisodia Sunday directed the health department to conduct an enquiry into the matter. “It is not only dangerous to the lives of these patients but also a set back to the efforts of the government which has imposed curfew/lockdown to break the chain and to check the spread of this disease,” reads Sisodia’s order.
