| Outbreak of waterborne diseases | | JKNPP concerned over govt inaction | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Aug 30: Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party (JKNPP) leader Harshdev Singh has expressed grave concern over the outbreak of Diarrhea, Cholera, gastro-enteritis and other deadly diseases including dengue and malaria in various parts of the state and the criminal apathy of the health department to deal with the epidemic like situation.
Harshdev Singh said that situation is worse in remote, hilly and mountainous areas with hardly any sign of the health department or any response given by it to the repeated outbursts and cries of the public for provision of basic health care facilities. He said that majority of the rural areas of the state are deprived of basic health infrastructure, medicines, equipments and even the basic first-aid facilities.
He said that heath centers and dispensaries, if at all, existing in rural areas have become defunct because of non-availability of doctors and Para-medical staff and other life saving drugs. Singh said that image of ministers of ruling coalition is not compatible with their public pronouncements. He said that government is making inflated claims in media to hoodwink the people of the state quite oblivious and unmindful of the negligible delivery on the ground.
Singh flayed the utter failure of the government to implement National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in the state and regretted that the state of J&K had been declared as the tail-ender in the country in its implementation. Likewise, Singh deplored large-scale attachments of doctors and paramedical staff in cities and towns on political considerations leaving rural areas at the mercy of God. He further flayed the department for failure in ensuring time bound selections of doctors and other Para-medical staff.
Rapping the health department for the dismal scenario and its inaction and neglect in dealing with the present epidemics, Singh called for stern administrative measures against defaulters and absentees besides immediate detachments of surplus doctors from cities and town. Singh complimented the Army for coming to succor of the civilians at this crucial juncture when the state health department is in shambles. He said that department has collapsed due to apathetic attitude of helmsmen.
