In an emotional appeal to the city administration, Deepali said, "The administration should take serious note of this, such incident is happening in Mumbai city...Women are not safe here.. today I have lost my son, tomorrow it could be another mother.. it should be looked upon seriously." 'My Son Vomitted At Hospital'Deepali told Times Now how the lack of facilities led to delays in the treatment of her son. She said the hospital, has been named after Balasaheb Thackeray, and the trauma centre here lacks medical facilities. "-The hospital where he was taken lacked medical facilities and even the surgeon was not available for treatment, they should have informed us earlier.. so we could have changed..." she said."My son vomited at the hospital, there was no hospital staff instead we were told to clean it.. my son was battling for life and I was told to do the clean up.. they didn't treat him on time and delayed it..." the grieving mother told Times Now.
