Direction (16-22): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
At least 10 COVID patients were asphyxiated when a makeshift hospital
in Vijayawada caught fire on Sunday. More than 20 other patients and six medical
personnel were reportedly present in the hotel-turned COVID-care facility when
a short circuit in the building’s air-conditioning unit flared into a blaze. Andhra
Pradesh’s health minister A K Krishna Srinivas has blamed Ramesh Hospital,
which had rented the hotel, for failing to check if the temporary facility adhered

r’s
to fire safety norms. He has accused private hospitals of taking “advantage of
people’s fears of the virus and their reluctance to take treatment at government
hospitals by charging exorbitant fees in the name of good treatment”. He has a
point. But the Vijayawada blaze also frames the failure of the state in not using
the lockdown period to mobilise amenities for COVID patients. It’s evident that
safety concerns were given short shift in the scramble for standby arrangements,
ha
after Andhra Pradesh’s COVID caseload began to increase. It is no rocket science
that, with their breathing capacity compromised by the viral attack, COVID patients
are particularly vulnerable to any incident that affects their oxygen intake —

E
exposure to smoke that contains carbon monoxide could have fatal consequences
for them. Some countries have issued fire safety guidelines in the aftermath of
d
the pandemic. But it’s unfortunate that in India, where innumerable buildings
are tinderboxes — the country accounts for nearly a fifth of the serious fire
accidents in the world according to the Global Disease Burden Study 2017 — no
ee

special measure or awareness campaign was initiated to obviate fire hazards

during the health crisis. Accidents in COVID-care facilities have followed a playbook
made familiar by past instances of fires in hotels, coaching centres, cinema halls
C
and hospitals — authorities reacting too late to violations of safety protocols. Last
week, for instance, a blaze swept through an Ahmedabad hospital suffocating at
Sr

least eight COVID patients to death — the hospital, reportedly, did not have a fire
safety certificate. Similarly, in the FIR lodged after the Vijayawada tragedy, the
area’s Mandal Revenue Officer is reported to have alleged that the staff of both
the hospital and hotel knew about the fire hazards in the makeshift facility, and
yet did not bother to conduct repairs. After the tragedies in Ahmedabad and
Vijayawada, the chief ministers of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha
and Uttar Pradesh have asked fire safety personnel to conduct safety audits of
C
COVID-care facilities. Other states should follow suit. But the ripples caused by
fire accidents in the country usually do not take long to die down. It’s high time,
therefore, that measures are taken to root out the culture of cutting corners on
safety.
16. What is the meaning of the phrase “cutting corners” ?
1) to take short cuts 2) to cut the corner of the surface
3) do something roundabout 4) to face issues 5) None of these
17. According to the passage what are private hospitals accused of ?
A) Taking advantage of people’s fears of virus
B) Charging exorbitant fees in the name of good treatment
C) Putting patients in make shift hospitals
D) Bribing the government
1) A 2) C and D 3) A and B 4) A,B, and C 5) None of these
