BUDGAM, Apr 6: J&K RTI Foundation has expressed concern over the alleged non-availability of medical consultation facilities for emergency patients at Sub-District Hospitals at various places in J&K.
In a handout J&K RTI Foundation Chairman, Engineer Irfan said they have been regularly monitoring the problems being faced by the people during COVID-19 pandemic.
