| Ban Sultan: 5-bedded isolation centre mocks at admin claims | | Facility eyewash, officials misleading higher ups, says Sarpanch | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: A 5-bedded isolation centre set up inside a government school in Ban Sultan area of Mira Sahib here mocks at the tall claims of the administration about it providing all facilities to the COVID-19 patients.
A detailed news report carried by a local news channel depicted how poorly the isolation centre is being managed at Ban-Sultan. Five low quality beds with white sheets, mattresses and pillows have been set up in a dingy room in the school.
Not a single employee from the Health Department was present there. The isolation centre lacks cleanliness and one couldn’t see any oxygen cylinder or any other facility there. It appears that the facility has been set up and then abandoned.
Sarpanch of Ban Sultan village, advocate Devraj said, “This facility is not worth. Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha, had taken an excellent step by announcing to set up isolation centers in the rural areas, but the low rung officials are misguiding the higher ups.”
He said, “If anyone comes to the isolation centre, he will not get well. It’s unfortunate that there is no one except a peon. This centre is just eyewash. We will stage a peaceful protest against the lackadaisical attitude of the authorities. We have to answer the people and we have no explanation to offer.”
Devaraj said, “Low rung officials don’t want to work as they just give excuses.”
The Sarpanch demanded that two vaccination centers should be set up in the area. “At present no one is being vaccinated in Ban-Sultan and adjoining areas,” he added. |
