Humanity Ashamed: Ballia Hospital Denies Ambulance, Family Carries Body in Auto

• An elderly patient died at Ballia District Hospital, but his family was denied an ambulance to transport the body home.
• Relatives wandered for 90 minutes, pleading for a hearse, but received no help or clear information from hospital staff.
• The family, feeling helpless due to their poverty, eventually paid 1000 rupees to hire an auto-rickshaw to carry the body.
• A shameful scene unfolded as the family struggled to place the body in the auto, with no assistance from the hospital administration.
• Nodal Doctor Vines Kumar claimed ignorance of the incident and assured an investigation, stating two hearses were available.
