JAMMU, Mar 9: The agitating Contractual Lecturer on fast unto death since February 14, was today rushed to hospital on the intervention of former minister and Panthers Party chairman Harsh Dev Singh as condition of the aggrieved was fast deteriorating.
Shocked to see the condition of Vinod Kumar, who had been observing fast since last four weeks, Harsh Dev Singh immediately called up CMO Jammu for prompt medical assistance who pressed ambulance to service at the site. The accompanying doctor physically checked Vinod Kumar whose BP plummeted to 80/55 and pulse rate dropped to 40. The waning protester was lifted from the site and rushed to the hospital for treatment.
Till last reports came in, condition of Vinod Kumar was stated to be stable at GMC Hospital Jammu.
Earlier, admonishing the apathy shown by the State Government towards the protesting Plus Two Contractual Lecturers, who had been sitting on chain hunger strike for the last 24 days, a team of Panthers Party paid a visit at the protest venue to seek health update of the aggrieved teachers.
Expressing anguish over the plight of the lecturers, Harsh Dev Singh lambasted the State Government for not responding to the call of the highly educated teaching community who were languishing in open for the last 24 days. He lampooned BJP’s claims of “Achey Din” as mirage for the educated youth as the ruffians, vandals, hooligans and illiterates were glorified in Kashmir while the nationalist underemployed youth were exploited, harassed and quelled.
