    Khaniyar Family Protests Death Of Kin Due To ‘Uncaring’ Doctors’ AT SMHS* People Urge Govt To Hold Doctors Accountable, Ensure They’re Punctual

    Rehan Showkat

    Srinagar, April 30 (GNS): A family from Khanyar here on Tuesday protested in SMHS hospital, alleging death of their kin due to “negligence by doctors”.

    The family said that from the last two days not a single doctor visited the patient, Abdul Ahad Guru (79).

    “We visited the concerned senior doctor and the CMO, imploring them that the condition of our patient is deteriorating and kindly look into it. They told us that a doctor will visit him soon,” a family member said, adding, no doctor came even there was no PG in the ward.

    “A nurse came later and gave him some injection despite our requests not to administer such high dose medicine keeping in view the condition of the patient,” the family member said.

    Within minutes, he said, the same nurse told the family to take the patient to the emergency unit as his condition further deteriorated. “In the emergency ward, we were directed to conduct ECG and as soon as the doctor there perused it, he informed us that our beloved is no more.”

    The family later staged a protest and even refused to take body home, demanding action against the concerned doctors and also sought report as regards the cause of death. Meanwhile, the hospital authorities handed over a certificate regarding the cause of death to them, showing it to be due to “cardio pulmonary arrest”.

    While the family was protesting, a number of people, who were attending other patients, joined them and demanded some accountability on part of the doctors.

    “The doctors come as they wish without much care towards the patients. They are only concerned about private practice,” they said.

    Most of the senior doctors, they said, come late in the morning and leave much earlier than the scheduled duty so as to reach their private clinics.

    Had “there been accountability, the patients would not have suffered nor would there be agony to the attendants,” they said, adding, “The patients are treated as second class citizens and all this is because nobody to hold the doctors accountable especially poor.”

    Medical superintendent SHMS hospital Dr. Nazir Hussain Chowdhary said that family should file a written complaint regarding the incident. (GNS)

    Pulwama April 30, 2019. Asserting that the scars of 2016 unrest in #SouthKashmir will continue to haunt people of Kashmir for decades reminding them of Torture & Barbarism on the part of #PDP_BJP Govt, the J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) President and Party Candidate GHULAM AHMAD MIR has said that people of Shopian & Pulwama should not trust PDP & other opportunist parties which are out to mislead people “again” for electoral benefits

    This was stated by G.A. Mir while addressing meetings of #Pulwama, #Rajpura and #Pampore constituencies at town hall Pulwama and resolved to fight against the betrayal & political exploitation on the part of PDP, BJP, NC and others.

    Addressing the gathering G.A. Mir said he believes people of Pulwama & Shopian after witnessing bloodshed, brutality and loot by the PDP led Govt should ensure defeat of PDP, NC and other opportunist Parties in the present elections and cautioned them about their falsehood and political gimmicks aiming to generate peoples support, the fact of the matter was, Shopian Pulwama has undergone tremendous damages due to misrule and mis-governance on the Part of previous PDP led Govt in the State, he said.

    The Coalition Govt led by PDP could have averted the damages and loss of precious lives in twin districts of Shopian & Pulwama had they not surrendered their agenda before BJP RSS. It was also unfortunate on its part that after getting a good mandate from South Kashmir this party aligned with the BJP for the sake of power thereby ensuring inroads to communal and fascist forces led by BJP in Kashmir valley.

    The people in Valley especially South Kashmir should not forget as to what the PDP had promised them in 2014 elections and what they (people) achieved after voting for this opportunist Party, people got pellets and bullets in response to their vote and support to PDP in 2014, Mir said

    Pellet horror in Pulwama, Shopian was outcome of PDPs surrender before BJP, hundreds of bullet injured and pellet injured people were still under treatment in their homes and hospitals, scores of innocent civilians were killed, what was their fault, Mir questioned, their fault was only they were agitating against the barbarism, misrule and mis-governance, they were agitating against the bloodshed and innocent killings during PDP BJP rule, G.A.Mir said.

    He said the PDP BJP presided over a darkest era of the State, now the PDP leadership was trying to generate support by showing tears in their eyes, which wont change the mood of the people, for the fact, they (people) have lost trust will not repeat the mistake they have committed in 2014, G.A. Mir said.

    Describing the Congress Party as strong & unifying force in the Country & State Mir said the Party is capable enough to defeat the communal, fascist forces, which are hell bent upon to cause damages to special status of J&K, G.A. Mir said that people should also realize that Congress Party is set to form Govt at Centre, will do everything to bring the people of J&K out of morass, besides ensuring their safety and security, besides protecting Special Status granted to J&K, G.A. Mir added and appealed people of Shopian & Pulwama district to ensure his victory with a thumping majority.

    Mir also assured that Congress Party will take effective measures to bring respite to people in every respect by fighting against corruption and discrimination on the part of opportunist political parties and assured that Party will stay true to its promises.

    Those who addressed the gathering included Senior Party Leaders Haji Abdul Rashid Dar, Mohd Anwar Bhat, Bashir Ahmad Magrey, Syed Bashir, Gulzar Ahmad Wani, Surinder Singh Channi, Farooq Andrabi, Fayaz Ahmad Dar, Indu Pawar, Irfan Naqib, Gulam Mohd Mir, Mohd Ayoub Thoker, Umer Jan, PCC DCC Members,Block Presidents, Youth Leaders and others.

  • GOVERNOR SHOULD LEAD DARBAR CARAVAN ON THE HIGHWAY

    GOVERNOR SHOULD LEAD DARBAR CARAVAN ON THE HIGHWAY

    From FB Wall of Ahmed Ali Fayyaz

    Commanders should lead from the front in all challenging situations. Men in top corridors of power in J&K get to know about the problems people face every day from State-controlled agencies, officers or the newspapers that are placed on their tables. On occasion of this Darbar Move from Jammu to Srinagar, Governor & Chief Secretary should lead the caravan of all subordinate bureaucrats, officers and Move employees by road to see for themselves the condition of Srinagar-Jammu highway and the troubles common commuters and drivers are encountering. If the Governor’s administration claims to be people-friendly and committed to mitigate common peoples’ suffering, it should not turn a blind eye to this sincere suggestion.
