Early Times Report
DODA, Feb 16: Taking cognisance of reports of death of a woman due to alleged negligence by a medical practitioner in Gundana area, District Magistrate Doda Vishesh Paul Mahajan has ordered an inquiry into the matter by Additional Deputy Commissioner. It is pertinent to mention that some local digital media platforms had reported that Shahista Begum Wife of Mohammad Abass R/O Doru, Anantnag A/P Hajipura Gundana died due to alleged negligence of a local medical practitioner, while some others termed the death as natural. The order issued by DC reads that Dr. Ravi Kumar Bharti, Additional Deputy Commissioner Doda shall hold a detailed inquiry into the factors leading to the death of the woman and submit his report within a week's time. Chief Medical Officer, Doda, Tehsildar, Gundana, and Deputy Superintendent of Police, HQR, Doda shall provide all required assistance to the Inquiry Officer. The appearance of such contradictory news reports motivated DM to order an inquiry to find the actual cause of death and give justice to the bereaved family, and avoid any law and order situation. |
