EARLY TIMES REPORT

RAMNAGAR, May 24: Despite rural areas becoming the hot beds of corona pandemic, the govt had miserably failed to provide the much needed infrastructure in the vast hinterland of J&K which inhabited 3/4th of the population. Several deaths occurring in remote areas, reportedly due to ‘fever’ and ‘chest diseases’ had stoked fears that corona was raging unseen in the villages with a hapless administration failing to deal with the grim situation. With majority of the rural areas facing chronic deficiency of doctors, paramedicos and other medical equipments, the govt had failed to fulfill its constitutional obligation of providing appropriate healthcare to its citizens. The rural areas suffered neglect not only in health sector but were worst victims of mal-governance of the current regime”. This was stated by Harsh Dev Singh Chairman-JKNPP and former Minister. He was distributing ration and other relief to poor and marginalized sections during his tour of villages Pinger and Bainsta of Ramnagar constituency. He was accompanied by Manju Singh, General Secretary of the Panthers Party.
Singh regretted that with hardly any corona testing or helpline centres in the rural and remote areas, the panic stricken people were simply being cautioned by the administration to stay indoors. While the govt had failed to address rural health care issues, the existing dispensaries and other health centres had become defunct in majority of the villages which faced chronic deficiency of staff and other essential drugs and equipments. He said that provision of five beds in Panchayats in the name of Covid care centre was a futile exercise without providing any health staff therein to take care of patients.
Calling upon the helmsmen to come to the succour of the poor and marginalized population of the country and J&K in particular, Singh said that huge funds raised under PM’s Cares Fund needed to be utilized to save the vulnerable sections from starvation and other adverse fallouts of the deadly pandemic.
