Srinagar, Aug 20: Resident Doctors Association (RDA) today slammed Directorate of Health Services Kashmir (DHSK) and authorities of Shri Maharaja Hari Singh (SMHS) Hospital for allegedly maintaining silence over the shooting of an ambulance driver by security forces couple of days ago here in Safa Kadal area.
“It is appalling and greatly demoralizing that the (SMHS) hospital administration and Directorate Health Services have maintained a dead silence over it (shooting of ambulance driver) for unknown reasons,” said president RDA, Dr Aadil Ashraf.
“Recent incident where an ambulance driver carrying patients to the hospital was fired upon rendering him badly injured is an act of grotesque human rights violations and should be taken up with all judicial and political vehemence by hospital administration, DHS Kashmir, civil society, judicial lobbies, the president of Resident medicos’ added.
Dr Aadil said that if any mishap takes place during the ongoing unrest, the SMHS hospital administration and “the authorities are to be blamed directly for their unexpected silence and their failure to speak against the force being used against emergency health service providers”.
