Meanwhile, principal of the Baba Raghav Das Medical College in Gorakhpur Dr Rajeev Mishra, who was suspended following the death of 30 infants within a span of 48 hours since August 10, resigned from the post.

New Delhi: Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath will reach Gorakhpur on Sunday. Union Health Minister JP Nadda will also reach the district where in Das Medical College 36 infants lost their life due to, alleged, lack of oxygen cylinders.

Confirming the resignation of Mishra from the post of the BRD medical college principal, UP Health Minister Sidharth Nath Singh said, Yes, he has resigned. But no good, because we have already suspended him and initiated enquiry of his misdoings.

A report was also sought by centre, which had assured all possible help to UP government to tackle the issue.
