After doctors used mobile torches to treat the injured people at Pauri district hospital, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Monday sought a report from the district administration on the incident.
Immediately after the Sunday bus accident in Dahalchori area of Pauri district in which six people were killed, the injured were rushed to the government district hospital in Pauri where there was no electricity. The transformer was also conked out.

Meanwhile, Dhami has asked the Pauri district administration to submit a report on the Pauri district hospital incident and provide all the basic facilities there.
The Chief Minister also sanctioned Rs 5 lakh each to the family members of the all the six people who lost their lives in the accident.
