Joginder Kumar of Dhogari village was unable to clear the pending dues of Rs 43,000 of DMCH, where his one-year-old son died five days ago.
DMCH Director Vikram Bhanot said in the evening, “We called up the Jalandhar Deputy Commissioner to send the parents to take the body of the child. We were approached by several people for clearance of the dues on Rajinder’s behalf, but we have decided to waive off the bill.”
