Claim of Minister for Health, Sham Lal Seemed to a political stunt

GNS Rajouri Poonch Nov 11;Though the state has achieved the milestone in health sector yet the people are dying due to negligence of doctors in the state and the hapless people have to suffer the loss of lives in the hands of doctors, who are being paid hefty perks and packages to give prompt treatment. Either the hallow claim of Minister for Health, Sham Lal Sharma are seeming to be political stunt as the doctors are hardly caring for patients in Sub District Hospital, Mendhar or the doctors hardly cares for him and his directions and putting the patients in high risk. A young girl namely SobiaNasreen Khan daughter of Late Karamat-Ulla Khan resident of Harni, Gursai, Mendhar, who was Advocate by profession and was going to be wedded on November 13, met with an accident got fractures in her arms and legs and her tongue was too inured at 10.30 am but she was in complete sense according to her family members. She was rushed to nearby Sub District Hospital, Mendharwith in half an hour, at 11 am and she was too in sense. She was talking and promptly responding but negligent doctors and staff did not take the matter seriously and left her to die. The family members said that they had constantly approached the doctors to treat her but the dilly-dallying policy of doctors had killed the young and upcoming advocate. The family members alleged with heavy heart that they were constantly requesting the doctors to attend her with seriousness but the negligent doctors and para-medical staff had not taken the request with due concern. She was not given drip and no doctor had checked her blood pressure, which was the important component of treatment. Though the surgeon was present in the hospital yet the treatment was absent in the case of SobiaNasreen Khan. Her brother with heavy heart said that the attitude of doctors was not equitable with the profession and ultimately killed a budding advocate of far-flung area. The family members today lodged a complaint against the responsible doctors to the Chief Medical Officer, Poonch, Dr Mohd Younis Chaudhary and he directed the Block Medical Officer, Mendhar, Dr Mumtaz Bhatti to get the matter enquired within a period of three to detect the lacuna in the department. While talking telephonically, the CMO, Poonch said that the due action would be taken against the person responsible for negligence if found during the course of enquiry. He further said that doctors are deployed to treat the people and in emergency cases the doctors had to act promptly. He said, "We are getting good salaries for discharging our duties and no one is allowed to execute negligence or dereliction of his/her duties and if any body found involved as alleged by the family members would be dealt strictly." Meanwhile, the BMO, Mendhar, Dr MumtazBhatti said that he would not spare any body if he smells any small foul in case and recommend strict action against him. He expressed sympathy with the family over the loss of young girl, who was too budding advocate of the locality and said, "Our priority is patient and there is no option to our priority. If any body has derelict his/her duties while executing treatment should dealt with iron rods."

Tahir Mushtaq  GNS JAMMU, Mar 03: The much awaited water mapping survey conducted to find new sources of ground water in Jammu and Kashmir by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has found that most of the water reserves are unsuitable for human consumption. Sources said that the remote sensing technology survey carried out by the government with the help of ISRO has found high level of iron and fluoride contents in the underground sources of water found in the state.  The report says that many of the newly found underground water channels have been found at inaccessible locations, which need sophisticated technology to extract, beyond the range of equipment what the engineers are using in the country at the moment.
