6 infants dead

LUCKNOW, NOV. 4. Six newly-born infants, aged between one day to three days, died in the King George's Medical College here during the last 24-hours due to shortage of oxygen cylinders, their parents alleged today.

Health officials at the neo-natal unit of the paediatrics department of the KGMC described the cause as ``sudden death'' in the official record. The parents of the deceased alleged that there were not enough oxygen cylinders in the unit for the babies, who were kept in the incubators during course of treatment.
