Raj/HTLucknow: Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday insisted that oxygen shortage did not lead to the death of 30 children in a government hospital in Gorakhpur, his home district. The chief minister said he had asked the officials during his 9 August meeting about the issues such as encephalitis, dengue, kala-azar, swine flu and chikunguniya besides what all they required. But, the matter relating to oxygen supply was not brought to his notice, he said. Though the minister admitted that the pressure of oxygen supply was low for two hours on 11 August, he said no death was reported during that period.
