Mysuru: The Zilla Panchayat (ZP) Council yesterday decided to recommend to the State Government to take action against District Health Officer (DHO) Dr. Venkatesh and K.R. Nagar Taluk Health officer (THO) Dr. Shivaprasad for their failure to act against those responsible for the incident that took place over 10 days ago at K.R. Nagar Taluk Hospital, in which one person died and 28 others who were undergoing dialysis at the Hospital, contracted Hepatitis C virus (HCV).
The ZP General Meeting, chaired by ZP President Parimala Shyam, saw the members, irrespective of party affiliations, venting out their ire against the DHO and K.R. Nagar THO.
