Industrialist Anil Gupta of Taraori in Karnal district has repaired a deep freezer in the mortuary at the Civil Hospital in Samalkha, following an incident where a body decomposed due to a technical fault. The freezer had developed a snag, causing the body of a woman who died by suicide last week to decompose.
How the Problem Was Discovered
Last Sunday, a woman reportedly died by suicide. Her family placed the body in the deep freezer at the mortuary, but it began to decompose because the freezer had a technical issue. The matter was brought to light by local residents.
Industrialist Steps In
After the issue was highlighted, Anil Gupta sent a mechanic to rectify the snag and covered all expenses. Gupta stated that he would meet Haryana Health Minister Aarti Rao to propose a special fund for repairing deep freezers in mortuaries across all civil hospitals in the state.
Broader Social Initiatives
Gupta has been actively involved in social causes, particularly in education and health. He has constructed 61 toilets in government schools and provides books and other resources to needy students. His latest initiative aims to prevent similar incidents at other hospitals.
