Chandigarh, May 21

Haryana Health and Home Minister Anil Vij today directed the authorities concerned to constitute a committee of three senior-level officers to re-examine the allegations of overcharging patients by Paras Hospital in Panchkula.

A few days ago, Haryana Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta had submitted a written complaint to the Home Minister in which he said the hospital was accused of overcharging three patients.

A committee was constituted at the district level to investigate these allegations, which submitted its report. The investigation report revealed some irregularities being committed by the hospital.

Sharing the names of the members of the committee, Vij said the Director General of the Medical Education and Research Department, Dr Shaleen, the Additional Director General of the Health Department, Dr VK Bansal, and a senior accounts officer of the Accounts Department would conduct further investigation in this regard.

The committee will examine all facts and submit a report within a week.
