Sonawari: Amid massive demonstration, agitated protesters Friday locked up Para-medical staff in a room at New Type Pamiry Health Centre (NTPHC) Nahidikah Sonawari in Bandipora district for an hour alleging that continuous absence of doctors in the hospital has been affecting patient care system badly.
The protesters after locking up the Para-medical staff blocked Sopore Srinagar road for hours forcing civil administration officials to rush to the spot.
Reports said that there were scores of patients at the ticket counter waiting for the doctors, but till 11 am no doctor turned up in the hospital. ‘As attendants swell up, they staged protest and chanted anti-medicos slogans. Some of the attendants locked up the Para-medical staff and even closed the main gate of the hospital. The protesters hit to road and blocked vehicular movement,” eyewitnesses said.
When contacted to Block Medical Officer Hajin Dr Tariq Ahmed said: “Two doctors are posted there. One was on night duty. Second doctor came from Baramulla to attend the patients.”
