DODA, Feb 26: Bhaderwah Hospital ‘Bachao’ Front (BHBF) has decided to take out a protest rally on February 28 to press for its demands including restoration of SDH in its old complex and developing the new building as referral hospital.
The spokesman of the Front Ranbir Manhas said that dharna in old hospital complex at Bhaderwah is going on for the last 166 days. He said after taking feed back from the people hailing from various surrounding villages and also from the people of the town, it has been learnt that people have been suffering for want of medical aid as the existing hospital which was located at the central place has now been shifted to a corner which is far away.
Manhas pointed out that people of nearly seven Panchayats and majority of the area of the town have to depend on the services of only one doctor who is temporarily posted at old hospital. Though there is Primary Health Centre at Chinta, there is only one doctor attending the huge population of the area. PHC Bhalla is almost defunct as there is no doctor available there. People have to go to Doda for even small ailments.
The BHBF has also given half day bandh call on February 28 and the transporters have also been requested to cooperate with the on Movement. He said the shopkeepers have been requested to observe bandh up to 3 pm and the transport operators to suspended operation from 10 am to 3 pm on that day. Abdul Haq Zargar, Desraj Kotwal, Ch Mohd Iqbal, Badrinath Bhardwaj and Bal Krishan were also present.
