Kumarghat, March 25 (TIWN): At a time when Health Minister Badal Chowdhury is on the move to provide better healthcare services, angry relatives of a patient went on rampage at Kumarghat hospital. Before police could bring the situation under control, angry relatives took the body of a drowned boy (16) to his residence at Kumarghat.

Boy was taken to Kumarghat hospital with severe breathing problem and laid him on a bed at emergency room.

As no medical officer or nurse turned up to the patient for treatment, he breathed his last on the bed triggering anger among the relatives of the patient. Doctors did not turned up even after repeated request by the patient party.

At one point to time, agitated relatives entered into the emergency room and ransacked the entire room.

The table and beds were smashed while medicines were thrown away from the room. After receiving the information of chaos, a police team rushed to the hospital to bring the situation under control.

However, no complaint has been registered with police yet.

There are allegations government doctors remained busy with private practice while patient admitted in the hospital are struggling to get minimum treatment. If the authority doesn’t take remedial measure immediately, people might ‘attack’ hospital once again.

People of Kumarghat demanding  SDMO for action and staged dharna infront of  hospital.
