Similarly, ambulance in Government Hospital, Ropar was also without oxygen pipes and even its tyres and conditions were in worst dangerous condition which reflects the negligence of management of M/s Ziquitza Health Care Ltd.

it is a clear cut case of misuse of public money by making payments to this type of company which is playing with lives of public.
