Mr Patnaik, who reached New Delhi this evening to attend a function there tomorrow, told reporters in the national capital that the state government has already ordered the revenue divisional commissioner (RDC), central, to inquire into the matter.
The police have so far arrested four senior officials of the said hospital on the basis of the FIR filed by the fire service department, the chief minister said, adding, "Stringent action will be taken against those found guilty in the incident."
Mr Patnaik's statement came on a day when Union Health Minister J P Nadda asked Odisha government to ensure that the guilty persons in the hospital fire case do not go "scot-free".
