| BJYM demands renaming of DH Poonch as Raja Sukhdev Hospital | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 26: Bharatiya Janta Yuva Morcha (BJYM) has demanded the renaming of District Hospital (DH) Poonch as Raja Sukhdev Singh District Hospital
Addressing a press conference today, State Spokesperson Ronik Sharma demanded that the name of the District Hospital Poonch was the creation of Raja Sukhdev Singh who established it when he was ruling Poonch, adding that he also donated 64 kanals of land for the construction of hospital building which is still in revenue record.
Sharma said that Raja Sukhdev Singh was instrumental in appointing highly qualified doctors from outside the state and his name was there on the name plate also.
Before independence this hospital catered to the needy people of four Tehsils including Sadhnooti, Bagh, Mendhar and Poonch and free medicine were provided by the hospital to the patients. It is pertinent to mention that the administration of district as well as state is well aware of this fact that the name of the emergency block was on the name of Raja Sukhdev Singh. Some people having vested interests are trying to change the name and to demolish this historical heritage.
Sharma said that during devastating earthquake of 2005, Poonch hospital suffered a huge loss and in which district hospital building was also damaged and the name plate which displayed the name of the of Raja Sukhdev Singh on top of hospital building also damaged but after completion of emergency block, the authorities tried to create controversy to change the name of Poonch hospital. |
