Gorakhpur Tragedy- More than just Despicable

Eversince the news of the death of 30 children, admitted in a Gorakhpur Govt. hospital started pouring in, there has been a spate of detestable incidents- the latest one being the UP CM Yogi Adityanath calling it a 'despicable' incident.
I do not disagree with him, but I did not expect him to just condemn the incident and completely ignore the fact that the Public Healthcare System under his administration deserves a complete overhaul. Amidst the political drama that unfolded after the tragedy, came another news- the death toll had risen to 64, and as expected, the Govt. decided to form a committee to investigate the 'causes' of the deaths. It is no hidden fact that forming such committees is a means of buying some time for the Govt. which it uses to quickly bury the controversy and subdue the simmering anger of the victims' families and the general public. Sometimes it is also used as a means of protecting the real culprits who are near and dear to the highest echelons of the dispensation. 

The Gorakhpur Tragedy is yet another grim reminder, not just of the terrible state of the Public Healthcare System in India, but also of how far we are yet to go before actually calling ourselves a mature democracy. What was the immediate response of the incident? Politicians started flocking the hospital- the ones in power defended their Govt, some even stated facts and figures to show how the condition of public healthcare had infact "improved" under their regime, the ones in opposition left no opportunity to castigate the Govt. in front of the camera, the media followed the celeb-netas and the people offered condolences on social media. This cavalier attitude of the Govt, the attempt to politicize the entire issue and leverage it for the next elections by the opposition, the insensitive and immature approach of the media in covering the news and the pseudo-concerned citizens of our country prove my point.
The harsh truth is, we cannot bring back those we have lost, and just "feeling sorry" for them would be the worst form of response that we can offer. It is time the Govt. STOPPED acting condescendingly by merely offering condolences and ex-gratias to the bereft families and took some rather tough and concrete steps to check the underlying problems. It would also be more logical and commendable to bring timely justice to these families which is their fundamental right.
I would also like to mention that today, autonomous bodies like NALSA are conspicuous by their absence. The introduction page of NALSA's website reads "Public awareness, equal opportunity and deliverable justice are the cornerstones on which the edifice of NALSA is based. The principal objective of NALSA is to provide free and competent legal services to the weaker sections of the society and to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or other disabilities..."

Now is the right time for it to deliver on its mandate and bring justice to these people, rather than wait for them to take the initiative.
It must be ensured, by all means possible, that the culprits are brought to book because the deaths of 64 children is neither just 'despicable', nor a sombre coincidence.
