"We have asked for a report from the Punjab government. But as we have
been told that the operations were done by some NGO and it did not have
the permission from the state government, we are finding out the details
of it," Health Minister J P Nadda told reporters outside Parliament.
The Centre is ready to assist the state government if it seeks help, he said.
Reports from Amritsar had said yesterday that at least 60 people, all above 60 years and from poor economic background, lost their eyesight at the camp in Ghuman village of Gurdaspur district organised around 10 days ago. While 16 belonged to villages in Amritsar, the rest were from Gurdaspur district.
Meanwhile, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal today ordered a high-level probe into the botched surgeries.
Badal has asked Principal Secretary Health Vinnie Mahajan to personally conduct the inquiry into all the aspects of this unfortunate incident, an official spokesman said in Chandigarh.
