'''Even after O2 refill, girl died of breathlessness'''

While the UP government has so far maintained that state-run Baba Raghav Das medical college in Gorakhpur lost complete oxygen supply only for 2 hours between 11:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m, the parents of a 3 year old girl have claimedthat their daughter, the first casualty after oxygen replenishment, died solely due to breathlessness. Shalu was admitted to hospital at5.50pm on August 10 after being diagnosed with pneumonia and respiratory illness. Her parents brandish her death certificate, dated August 11 which reads "Cardio pulmonary failure at 5:30 am"as a reason for death . the government has said the deaths of 32 kids were due to complication of their disease and unrelated to disruption in oxygen supply.
