Modi speaks to Raman Singh over botched up surgeries

Taking a serious view of the botched up sterilisation procedure in Chhattisgarh's Bilaspur, in which eight young women died and 52 others were hospitalised, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh on the unfortunate tragedy; asked him to ensure a thorough investigation and action in the entire issue.

60 women were admitted to different hospitals after they developed post-operative complications at a sterilisation camp organised by the government at a private hospital in Pendari village on the outskirts of Bilaspur town on Saturday. Eight of them, all below 32 years of age, died from complications.
Already, Chief Minister Raman Singh announced a high-level probe and suspended four officials, including the Chief Medical and Health Officer of Bilaspur. He ordered registration of FIR against the surgeon under whose supervision the sterilisation camp was organised at Nemichand Jain Cancer and Research Centre where 83 women had undergone surgical procedures for sterilisation.
