JAMMU, Sept 28: Jammu West Assembly Movement (JWAM) here today staged protest demonstration against the alleged failure of Government Medical College Jammu (GMCJ) administration to provide health facilities.
The protest dharna was organised at Janipur under the leadership of the JWAM president, Sunil Dimple.
Addressing the protestors, Dimple appealed the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to visit Jammu’s premier hospital to take assessment of medical facilities as all the medical facilities system has been collapsed in GMC Jammu and its associated hospitals since COVID-19 pandemic engulfed the country.
He alleged that the health insurance scheme was announced by Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha is proving as hoax as there are no benefits of this scheme at ground level. “The private ambulances are charging exorbitant amount for transporting COVID-19 patients outside Jammu, patients are dying due to shortage of oxygen, ventilators and other requisite medical facilities and nobody seems bothered about it,” he said.
Dimple said that the trader community of Jammu was ready to close the markets but the Government was hesitating to take final call of lockdown.
He demanded one month complete lockdown to contain the spread of the pandemic.
Swarn Singh, Papu Virdi, Daleep Kumar, Sham Lala Sharma, Rakesh Kumar, Kala Singh, Sham Dogra, Sanjay Gupta and many others were present during the protest.
