Mom's condition deteriorated last night. I am angry, hurt and heartbroken.

She was left gasping. There was not a single attendant in Doon hospital to help her. No one to look or care.

She was later put on increased oxygen support by staff after calls from family.
She can't move, fetch water, go to toilet or have food.

Yet, she is made to do all of that alone, on her own. No family allowed, no one to attend.

What sort of punishment is this?
There is no place to change clothes, no shower, no dustbin (we asked 5 staffers to get one and then sent from home).

What was I expecting? How can a government hospital not be in shambles?
My mother, who I briefly saw this morning (sneaked into hospital in early hours) is alone. Unable to talk, breath or sit on her own.

As I sit outside the hospital I wonder who will give her food or water and my heart breaks into pieces at my own helplessness.
I am not giving up yet.

Respect for human life, dignity, patient care should not be too much to ask of a government hospital in India.

My mother needs help.

Mom called, unable to get up and have food. (On high oxygen flow)

Sneaked in (again) to feed her.

This is what I see in the corridor of the Doon hospital.

Alive and abandoned.

Over the last couple of weeks, many of my former colleagues at @republic have resigned. They have shown exemplary courage, put their careers at risk to speak up.
However a section of people is hell bent on villifying them for joining Republic TV. Here is what you should know.
When @republic was launched in 2017, we were all told that the venture will be different from @TimesNow. Arnab will create his own brand of journalism. He said, 'We are not right-wing, but will do right by the country and armed forces.'
We were a bunch of hopeful, young reporters/anchors who bought the idea. We were excited by the prospects of working with Goswami. However, it didn't take us long to realize what 'right' he was talking about.
